What is efflorescence?
Have you ever noticed a white substance appearing on your brick? That white substance is not only common, but has a name – efflorescence. And it can be found both inside and outside.
Efflorescence is a crystalline salt deposit, appearing white or gray in color, that remains on the surface of brick, concrete, stone, stucco, or other building surfaces after it comes in contact with water which then evaporates.

What is tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing is a word you may have heard in relation to masonry work, but aren’t sure exactly what it is.
It is actually a very important upkeep of brickwork that if done promptly can prevent the need for further and much more expensive intervention by a mason.
Just as our bodies break down over time as we age causing wrinkles and other fun side effects of getting older, brickwork also has changes related to aging. This is especially true when you live in a state, such as Ohio, with cold and snowy winters.
