Chimney & Masonry Tuckpointing

Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated or damaged mortar joints between each chimney brick, then filling each joint with new mortar. When our experienced professionals complete the repointing, your chimney will be protected from any moisture intrusion. 

When Do You Need Tuckpointing?

 An inspection of the exterior brickwork of your chimney can reveal cracks, crumbling, gaps in the joints, or even loose/missing bricks due to decaying mortar. If you notice any of these, the chimney needs to be repointed.  

All too often homeowners do not realize their chimney is damaged until they have a chimney inspection, or until there is evidence of a water leak inside their home.

The sooner any masonry damage is discovered and repaired, the easier and less costly it is to repair. In severe cases where the deterioration is extensive, a partial or complete chimney rebuilding may be necessary.

What Are the Benefits of Tuckpointing?

• Improves structural stability of the chimney and helps prevent a more costly rebuilding of the chimney.
• Prevents more damage to your home – degradation of  bricks and mortar can cause severe structural damage to not just the chimney but also to the roof or the side of your home that attaches to the chimney
• Stops water leaks – moisture that leaks through the gaps in the bricks and mortar can cause extensive damage to the ceiling, attic and other components inside the chimney.
• Increases property value – improving the condition and appearance of your chimney also enhances curb appeal, which may increase your property value
