Failed and deteriorated mortar joints should be properly removed and new mortar joints installed. Mortar joints between brick and chimney crown are essential to keeping out moisture, preventing further chimney deterioration.

Chimneys are far more exposed to wind, rain, snow and ice than masonry walls. Mortar joints also suffer the effects of continued expansion and contraction due to the heat of the fire and cold exterior temperatures. Left unrepaired, chimney damage can cause dangerous and unhealthy gases to enter your home or building creating a fire hazard. Left unrepaired, the structure can fail, potentially causing damage to property or worse, loss of life.

When this happens, the brick loses structural support to the masonry, and deteriorates the surrounding motor joints. Expert masonry services provided by Complete Chimney can rectify any problems you may be experiencing with your brick structure.
