How Chimney Joints Get Repointed in Ballast Point
Our local experts explain the mortar, the color and each step before any joint is raked in Ballast Point.
Why repointing mortar should be softer than the brick
In repointing, harder is not better. The National Park Service's repointing brief wants new mortar weaker and more breathable than the brick it sits between. A mix that is too strong sends stress into the brick, and one that breathes less than the brick drives water and salts out through its face.
That is how chimneys end up with spalled brick next to hard cement patches. Our masons choose a mix that protects the brick on your Ballast Point chimney and gives way before the brick does.
Stopping the water before repointing
Repointing will not solve a problem caused by something else. National Park Service guidance says leaks and other moisture sources should be dealt with first, or the new joints will fail for the same reason as the old ones.
On a chimney, the usual culprits are a cracked crown, loose flashing or an open flue top. We check those during the free inspection in Ballast Point and tell you if they need repair before, or alongside, the tuckpointing.
The crown and flashing are separate repairs
Joint work stops at the top course and at the roofline. Florida's residential code covers the concrete, metal or stone cap on a masonry chimney, with its drip edge, and the flashing where the chimney meets the roof, and each of those is its own repair with its own materials.
If the crown or flashing on your Ballast Point chimney needs attention, it appears as a separate line on the estimate. You can see exactly what the tuckpointing covers and decide on the rest yourself.
Roof access and protecting your home
Repointing a chimney means hours on the roof with mortar, dust and tools. Our crew sets up safe access, protects the shingles around the stack and keeps dust away from windows, doors and vehicles below.
