Local Conditions

Ground settling at the chimney base

A chimney on a home in Raleigh rests on its own footing, and uneven settling below it shows up as stair-step cracks or a gap opening at the house wall. Our specialists check whether the movement has stopped before repointing the cracks, since mortar in a crack that's still moving will just crack again. A gap measured over a few weeks shows whether it's still opening.

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.

Getting the mortar color right

Mortar color comes from the sand, the cement and any pigment in the mix, and old mortar has also weathered for years. A mix straight from the bag may not match.

The inside of old mortar shows its true color, so our pros break a piece open, then mix small samples with different sands and pigments. The samples are left to cure, because wet mortar dries lighter. The closest one is used, and you'll see it on the wall before the whole job goes ahead. It takes a little patience, and it's what makes a repair disappear. Joint texture gets the same attention, brushed or tooled to match.

Paint and coatings on brick chimneys

Many coatings slow the drying of brick, and ordinary paints are among them. When water gets into the wall from the top or through a joint, a film on the outside holds it in, and it pushes the paint off or flakes the brick face as it tries to escape.

Masonry under peeling paint gets repaired first. For the finish, a breathable masonry coating lets water vapor out where standard paint doesn't. Stripping paint from brick is possible but slow, and it's only worth it where the brick underneath is sound. Our pros talk through the options before pricing.

FAQs

Common masonry questions in Raleigh

Who handles chimney masonry repair in Raleigh?

Our pros do. Raleigh is inside our Levy County coverage, and each face of the chimney gets checked for free before any repair is priced. Soft joints or flaking brick are worth mentioning on the phone.

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.
