Chimney Repointing: Preserving the Structural Integrity of Your Chimney

Your chimney is a vital component of your home, serving as an essential ventilation system for your fireplace or heating appliances. However, over time, the mortar joints that hold the bricks or stones together can deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, causing potential safety hazards and structural issues.

At Tully Contracts, we understand the importance of maintaining a sound and safe chimney. Our professional chimney repointing services are designed to restore the structural integrity of your chimney, ensuring its longevity and optimal performance.

The Chimney Repointing Process
Repointing involves carefully removing the old, crumbling mortar from the joints and replacing it with fresh, durable mortar. This process not only reinforces the structural stability of your chimney but also seals any cracks or gaps, preventing water infiltration and further deterioration.

Our experienced masons meticulously rake out the old mortar, taking care to preserve the integrity of the surrounding bricks or stones. Once the joints are cleaned and prepared, they apply a high-quality mortar mixture, ensuring a perfect color match and seamless finish that complements the aesthetic of your chimney.
