This is a method of restoring your mortor joints.  The old loose mortor is 
removed and fresh mortor is tucked back in place with a (you guessed it) a 
tucking tool.  Then the joint is smoothed off with a mortor joint tool to give 
it a nice smooth rounded appearance.

  Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Tuck Pointing?


  Hello,

  What is tuck pointing? We're being told that this has to be done to our 
  basement because there are cracks along the walls, and water is seeping in.
  If we don't do this, the house or foundation could begin to sink in?
  Is this correct?
