Masonry & Tuckpointing: What You Can't See Can Hurt You
Your chimney's brick and mortar are under constant assault from New England weather. Gaps in the mortar joints and cracked bricks (spalling) are not just cosmetic issues; they are signs that your chimney is absorbing water, which leads to rapid, internal deterioration and potential structural failure.
Structural Collapse: A chimney weakened by water damage can collapse, endangering your family and causing immense damage to your roof and home.
Accelerated Water Damage: Each gap in the mortar acts as a channel, funneling water into the chimney's interior and your home's walls.
Loss of Home Value: A visibly deteriorating chimney is a major red flag for home inspectors and potential buyers.
