Brick/Stone Repair & Tuckpointing
35-plus years of analyzing the causes of masonry failure have taught us a few things about chimney repair… Back in the day, we’d hear masons say things like, “well, there was a bad run of brick during the time your chimney was built.” Or, “the heat exchange above the roofline is such that the chimney deteriorates faster up there.”
These are guesses and nothing more. The causes of masonry deterioration are in no way a mystery to The Chimney Company. In fact all types of masonry restoration and masonry repair, including brick tuck pointing and fireplace restoration, are within our area of expertise!
We’ve been resolving and remediating the causes of masonry leaking, deterioration and failure for over 35 years. Not to mention masonry restoration such as brick tuck pointing, fireplace maintenance, stone repair and chimney rebuilding.
One of our specialties at The Chimney Company is Historic Restoration, however, we treat average, everyday chimneys with all the same care, attention, and craftsmanship. As professionals in masonry repair, we are dedicated to making ANY structure safe from inevitable water damage and weather exposure.
Tuck Pointing simply means replacing the mortar joints in the places where the mortar has deteriorated. It’s a simple process, but tuck pointing in chimney repair and fireplace repair is also really easy to get wrong. Professional masons even get it wrong!
The proper material and the proper method are what we ensure on every chimney tuck pointing project. Whether on a small or large area, tuck pointing properly is essential in order to keep water intrusion from spreading into a potentially major leaking impact on your home.
The good news is, our level of craftsmanship allows for expedient, thorough, and correct chimney repair and includes matching of mortar, brick, and stone. You will have proper results and likely never have to repeat tuck pointing again. Our masonry work is designed to be permanent; even if the tuck pointing involves correcting severe errors or chimney deterioration.
