🧱 Repointing Fail Alert
Found a wall today where the repointing popped off with a fingertip. Why?
1️⃣ They skim-coated instead of removing the old mortar
2️⃣ Joints were over-tooled, trapping water
3️⃣ Mortar mix was too strong for the soft brick
Once water sits in those pockets, freeze–thaw cycles wipe out the repair.
Reminder: Mortar should be the sacrificial part of the wall.
Good repointing lasts decades - bad repointing lasts months.
🔥 Ever heard of creosote?
