The Work Behind Sound Chimney Joints
Every repointing job in Temple Terrace is explained first and backed by our workmanship warranty.
Sealing brick after tuckpointing
A clear water repellent is sometimes suggested right after repointing, but Brick Industry Association guidance is to let several months pass after the repairs and only then decide whether one is needed. Film-forming coatings can hold moisture in the wall if the water source has not been fixed.
We repair the joints and the water path first. If a breathable repellent would help your Temple Terrace chimney later, we explain it then, and you only pay for it if it earns its place.
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 Temple Terrace and tell you if they need repair before, or alongside, the tuckpointing.
Removing old patches and smeared cement
Many chimneys carry earlier repairs, such as cement smeared across the joints, caulk in the cracks or a hard mortar that does not match. Those patches often trap water behind them and hide failed mortar underneath.
Our masons take out failed patches where they cover joints being repointed and rebuild each joint properly. We explain what we removed from your Temple Terrace chimney and why.
Why joints wear first above the roofline
The part of a chimney above the roof has no eaves, walls or neighbors to shelter it. Rain, sun and wind reach every face, so joints there tend to wear sooner than those lower down.
That is why our inspection in Temple Terrace starts at the top of the stack. Many chimneys need repointing only above the roofline, and the estimate shows exactly which courses are included.
