Chimney Repointing Vs Tuckpointing
Chimney repointing and tuckpointing are related processes used to repair and restore the mortar joints in a chimney. These terms are used interchangeably in the chimney and masonry industry. While they serve a similar purpose, they have slight differences.
Chimney Repointing
Chimney repointing involves removing deteriorated or damaged mortar joints and replacing them with fresh mortar. This process strengthens the chimney’s structure and prevents water damage caused by leaks. A chimney repointing done by a professional can last up to 30 years, providing long-term protection for your chimney.
Chimney Tuckpointing
Chimney tuckpointing is a technique for creating the illusion of fine joints in brickwork. It involves using two different mortar colors to fill in the joints, with the outer layer matching the color of the bricks and the inner layer matching the original mortar color. Tuckpointing is a cosmetic procedure often done to enhance the chimney’s appearance.
Common Signs Your Chimney Needs Repointing Or Tuckpointing
If you have noticed a change in the color of the mortar, it may indicate deterioration. Fresh mortar is typically a bright beige color, so any darkening or discoloration suggests the need for repointing or tuckpointing.
Deteriorating mortar can lead to flaking or peeling, making it easy to notice. When the mortar starts separating from the bricks, it compromises the structural integrity and affects the overall appearance of your chimney.
When mortar deteriorates, moisture can seep into your fireplace and damper. This increased moisture can cause rusting, leading to further damage. If you notice rusting in these areas, it’s a sign that your chimney needs attention.
Faulty mortar can contribute to the development of cracks in your chimney. Even tiny cracks can let in water and compromise the chimney’s structure. If you notice any cracks, it’s important to address them promptly.
If you’re experiencing issues with heating efficiency or draft, it may be due to deteriorated mortar joints. The compromised structural integrity can affect the proper functioning of your chimney system. Repointing or tuckpointing can help restore efficiency.
Our Chimney Repointing / Tuckpointing Process
Our expert team begins the chimney repointing or tuckpointing process with a thorough structural examination. This involves inspecting the chimney mortar, masonry units, and existing construction techniques. We assess the condition of your chimney and determine if repointing or tuckpointing is necessary.
After the structural examination, we identify the type of mortar used in your chimney to ensure we find a suitable match. Matching the compressive strength, thermal expansion, and permeability of the new mortar to the original one is crucial for long-lasting results.
Our skilled masons carefully remove the deteriorated mortar between the bricks, taking care not to damage the masonry units. Various tools, such as power chisels, saws, and cutters, are used to remove the old mortar efficiently. We also ensure that the joints are clean and free of debris.
Once the old mortar is removed, we apply the new matching mortar layer by layer. Our team skillfully compacts and tools the mortar to ensure a strong and seamless bond between the new and existing mortar, enhancing the structural integrity and appearance of your chimney.
We apply a waterproof sealant to prolong the life of the mortar joints and protect against water damage. This sealant helps prevent moisture from seeping into the joints and causing further deterioration. It also enhances the durability of the repointing or tuckpointing work.
