Restoring mortar joints is a process called truck-pointing. Repair gaps in mortar to prevent water from entering into the wall and damaging structure.

  • STEP 1 Chip away any loose mortar with a mason's hammer and chisel. Use light hammer taps and clean out joint of any chips or dust.

  • STEP 2 Blend small amount of mortar mix in a container as directed on the label.



  • STEP 3 Load mortar on a brick trowel or a board. Then, holding the trowel against the chimney just below the joint you're filling, fill joint by sliding mortar on the trowel with a pointer tool.

  • STEP 4 Finish the joint surfaces to match the shape of adjacent joints.
