Q:	How do I know if my building needs tuckpointing?
A:	Look closely at your masonry wall and if you notice voids, cracks, crumbling mortar, or uneven areas of mortar, chances are you need tuckpointing.
Q:	What is the white powdery surface deposit on my brick and mortar?
A:	Any trapped moisture within the brick will react with the salts inside. As the moisture evaporates, the salts will crystallize on the masonry surface, creating white efflorescence. This powdery substance is seasonal and will dissipate on its own, but may reoccur. It can be temporarily halted with a mild muriatic acid solution.
Q:	Can my existing mortar color be matched?
A:	The existing mortar color and profile can be matched (with approximately 90% accuracy) through careful manipulation of the actual color additive. Newly applied mortar will appear sharper in color because it hasn't had a chance to weather and oxidize.
