Tuckpointing & Rebuilding
Tuckpointing refers to the repair of the mortar joints between bricks. Over time, as bricks and mortar are exposed to the elements, they will show wear and tear. When the mortar begins to weaken and starts to fall out, the bricks may become loose. When this occurs, some form of repair is required to ensure not only safety, but also for continued enjoyment.

Flaking Bricks
As the face of bricks deteriorate or fall off, it may cause the entire brick to fall out of the chimney.

Crown Repairs
The cement slab at the top of the chimney is the crown. It is a sloped bed of mortar that helps shed rain water. If left unattended at signs of deterioration, damage may occur from minor crown seals to a complete crown rebuilding.

Flashing Repairs
The strip of metal that joins the chimney base to the roofline is called the flashing. This flashing prevents the elements from penetrating this joint and entering your home.

Water Repellent
This is used on the exterior chimney structure as a protective layer against the damaging effects of the elements. This, however, is not a substitute for masonry repairs.

Firebox Repairs
The firebox holds the wood where you start a fire. If the firebox is damaged, such as having cracked bricks, repair is needed to restore the structural integrity of the fireplace.
