Common Chimney Masonry Problems We Fix
Mortar Joint Deterioration (Repointing)
Repointing replaces damaged mortar between bricks caused by weather, restoring the chimney with fresh mortar that matches the original appearance for durability and aesthetic consistency.
Brick Spalling and Damage
When bricks absorb water and freeze, they can crack, flake, or crumble. We remove damaged bricks and replace them with matching ones that blend seamlessly with your existing chimney.
Crack Repairs
Small cracks in masonry let water in, causing bigger problems. We assess whether cracks are structural or surface-level, then repair them properly to prevent water infiltration and further damage.
Efflorescence and Water Damage
White staining on bricks means water is penetrating your masonry. We identify the water source, make necessary repairs, and apply weatherproofing treatments to prevent future damage.
Chimney Crown Repairs
The concrete crown at the top of your chimney protects the masonry below. When it cracks or deteriorates, we repair or replace it to keep water out of your chimney structure.
Flashing Repairs
The metal flashing where your chimney meets the roof often fails before the masonry does. We repair or replace flashing to eliminate leaks and protect your chimney from water damage.

Yes, though spring through fall provides ideal conditions for masonry work. Mortar needs proper temperatures to cure correctly, so we take extra precautions during colder months or may recommend waiting for better weather on certain jobs.
