  • Purpose of pointing

Pointing repair is useless, if building has other issues like leakage due to broken pipes and gutter. We after complete analysis apply mortar on the wall so that they breathe as they are the lungs of the wall. If mortar joints block then, wall will deteriorate. For this we use soft mortar as compared to the material that we used. We make pointing compliant with the wall material. The pointing repair process is only for wear and tear of mortar joints. It doesn’t increase any structural strength.
