Tuckpointing

The mortar between the bricks of your chimney may be showing signs of deterioration and may need to be freshened up. Tuckpointing is the application of new mortar to help reinforce the bricks, it may be needed in just a few areas or in many.

Smoke Chamber Coating

Smoke chamber walls should be smooth to allow the smoke and fumes from the fire to go up and out of the flue. We apply a coating to smooth them out to allow this process to occur.

Bracing

Sometimes a chimney needs additional support, especially if it is very tall. Bracing gives this additional support and better secures the chimney to the roof.

In some cases, the flue tiles in your flue may need to have the cement joining them repaired. We offer this repair when appropriate for your system, it is not always the correct repair.

Masonry Water Repellent

Masonry is an extremely porous material and allows water to penetrate deep within its surface. One brick can hold up to 1 cup of water. To prevent this from becoming a structural issue down the road, we recommend applying a masonry water repellent. This will lengthen the life of your chimney while preventing erosion and cracks and creating a barrier that water cannot penetrate.
