Through the years many masonry chimneys begin to break down. The mortar either begins to soften due to age or moss buildup or will fall of in chunks due to water freezing behind it. Brick faces will also fall off due to water freezing. Crown mortar will start to pit and soften and will develop cracks. All of these problems can repaired. We have repaired hundred's of chimneys over the years
.
The old paint was removed and the mortar joints were ground out and tuckpointed followed by an application of a ten year warranted waterproofer.
A common problem with chimneys is the crown mortar will develop pitting from the rain hitting it and cracks from the moisture freezing and expanding existing smaller cracks. This also it makes it easier for moss to grow which only accelerates the problem. The best solution is to clean the surface of the chimney and repair any mortar joints as needed and replace or resurface the crown followed by an application of a high quality ten year warranted waterproofer.
