Repairs defective mortar joints that can contribute to rain penetration.
Relevant when external inspection identifies failed joints or masonry defects.
Use a mortar appropriate for the building; unnecessary hard/impermeable repairs can cause problems in older walls.
A technically good product or system can still be the wrong answer if the moisture source has been misdiagnosed.
Confirm which moisture source the solution is intended to control.
Check what preparation, installation and maintenance are required.
Ask what the solution cannot fix and what evidence should improve after installation.
