Not sure, but I think the original post translates to:

I pressure-washed something, and the force of the stream knocked the grout out of the gaps.

Can I buy a bag of mortar, mix it up, and repair the damage myself, or should I call a professional?

It's called repointing, and Andy's right. You need to post a bit more information (cogently, please) for anyone to be able to help you.:p
