Damaged, cracked, or deteriorating mortar joints can leave your chimney vulnerable to moisture and further deterioration. MJY Construction provides professional chimney pointing and repointing services to help restore damaged mortar joints and protect your chimney.
The mortar joints between your chimney's bricks play an important role in keeping the masonry stable and protected from the elements. Over time, exposure to rain, snow, freezing temperatures, and changing weather conditions can cause mortar to crack, loosen, or deteriorate.
Chimney pointing and repointing involves repairing deteriorated mortar joints to help restore the condition of the masonry. MJY Construction can evaluate your chimney, identify areas of deterioration, and determine the appropriate repair approach for your property.
Addressing damaged mortar early can help prevent moisture from penetrating deeper into the chimney and causing additional masonry problems.
Pointing involves repairing or renewing damaged mortar joints where localized deterioration has occurred. This can help restore the appearance and integrity of affected areas.
When mortar joints have deteriorated more extensively, repointing involves removing compromised mortar and installing new mortar to restore the joints.
Cracked mortar joints can allow water to enter the masonry. We can assess damaged areas and repair deteriorated joints as appropriate.
Loose, crumbling, or significantly deteriorated mortar may need to be removed and replaced to help protect the surrounding masonry.
