Tuckpointing is necessary after earthquakes, shifting, or settling the structure. While shifting or settling, cracks often appear in the structure. Moreover, it can happen over time naturally. Unfortunately, earthquakes also cause cracks in buildings. If you don’t repair these cracks immediately, they can damage the entire property.
