𧱠What is Chimney Repointing?
Repointing refers to the process of removing old, cracked, or deteriorated mortar between the bricks of your chimney and replacing it with fresh, high-quality mortar. This is essential to prevent moisture from entering the chimney, which can cause significant damage over time. Hereβs why chimney repointing is important:
βοΈ Prevents Water Damage β Repointing fills in gaps in the masonry, preventing water infiltration that can cause brick deterioration and mold growth.
βοΈ Improves Structural Integrity β Weak or missing mortar can lead to instability, and repointing restores the structural strength of your chimney.
βοΈ Enhances Curb Appeal β Repointing renews the overall appearance of your chimney, making it look fresh and well-maintained.
βοΈ Increases Longevity β Properly repointed chimneys last longer, reducing the need for costly repairs or replacements down the road.
