One side worn more than the others

Walk around the chimney and look closely. Is one face more worn, with deeper joints and rougher brick, than the rest? That's the side that takes the most wind-driven rain, and it can need repointing years before the sheltered sides.

Our specialists price repointing by face or by section, so you pay for the joints that need work and leave the sound ones alone. They'll mark the areas on a sketch for your quote. Next time, that face gets checked first. It's also where the next inspection starts, so small wear gets caught early. Reserve section-by-section repointing in Bronson: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Masonry on a chimney nobody uses

Brick on an unused chimney in Bronson still stands in the rain and sun. Its joints wear and its brick weathers just the same. Our pros check idle chimneys as closely as busy ones, since loose masonry above the roof is a hazard whether the fireplace is used or not. Loose brick near the top gets checked first, since it can fall.

Covering fresh work before rain

Fresh mortar and open joints are vulnerable to rain. The Brick Industry Association recommends a waterproof membrane over wall tops and openings whenever work stops, overnight included.

Our specialists do exactly that on chimney jobs, tarping the top and any open sections before leaving the site. Rain on uncured mortar washes it out of the joints and stains the brick below. Covering the work also keeps water out of the chimney while it's partly repaired. It's routine on every job, and it's included in the price. Covers are weighted or tied so wind can't lift them. A dry wall also takes the next day's mortar better.

Stone chimneys and stone veneer

Natural stone chimneys have wide, irregular joints, and the mortar in them does more work than in brick. Our specialists repoint them with a mortar suited to the stone, softer than the stone itself, and tool it to match the existing look, whether raked back or brushed flush.

Manufactured stone veneer is a different system, with a water barrier and drainage behind the stone set by the maker's installation guide. Loose or cracked veneer is repaired following that guide, since patching it like solid stone can trap water behind it. You'll hear which kind you have before any work is priced.

Letting new mortar cure

Mortar gains its strength by curing, and it needs moisture to do that. In hot sun or wind, a fresh joint can dry out before it has cured, leaving a weak, powdery surface that washes out.

Our specialists schedule work to avoid the harshest sun where they can, shade the work, and mist the joints lightly as they cure if the conditions call for it. Covering the work against rain protects it from the other direction. You'll hear if there's anything to watch for in the days after the repair, and when the chimney can be used. Rushing the cure is one of the reasons repointing fails early.

FAQs

Which masonry fix is the right one?

Do I need to repoint the whole chimney?

Not in every case. Wear tends to concentrate on the weather side and the top courses. Our specialists price repointing by section, so sound joints are left alone.

Will the repair match my brick?

Our pros match replacement brick for size, absorption and color, and mix mortar samples to match the old joints. You'll see a sample on the wall before the work starts.
