Introduction
Learn how to clean, reset and tuckpoint loose bricks. A loose brick can ultimately lead to major problems – even a wall collapse – but the fix is simple.When a brick works loose, you can’t just shove mortar in around it and expect the repair to last. Pull it out and fix it right.
It’ll take you at least 20 minutes to remove a loose brick from a wall and clean off the old mortar from both the wall cavity and brick. If possible, reuse the old bricks. New brick will never match the texture or aged color of the original.
