Comprehensive Tuckpointing Solutions for Brick Chimneys

Tuckpointing, alternatively known as repointing, plays a critical role in enhancing the water resistance of deteriorated mortar joints within aging brick chimneys. Over time, mortar joints succumb to the effects of harsh environmental conditions, requiring repair every 25 years or more.

The primary culprits for water infiltration into the brickwork are deteriorated and damaged mortar joints. Tuckpointing serves as an effective remedy, not only fixing these deteriorated joints but also contributing to a permanent reduction in water entry. Our proficient Chimney Cricket professionals possess the expertise to meticulously remove compromised mortar joints from your weathered brick chimney, replacing them with fresh, resilient mortar.

The need for tuckpointing may extend to new chimneys if insects or severe weather conditions result in holes in the mortar joints. Additionally, instances exist where new chimneys were inadequately constructed, necessitating proper tuckpointing for optimal performance.
