repoint
Repointing refers to the process of renewal or replacement of the existing mortar joints in masonry construction. This is often necessary in old buildings where weather and decay have caused voids and damages in the mortar, which could potentially allow water to infiltrate and cause significant damage. Repointing usually involves removing the old mortar and adding new, which can improve the structural integrity and enhance the appearance of the construction.
