How Our Masons Approach Chimney Repair in Westchase
A masonry visit can often happen the day you call, and it never costs a thing.
Removing old mortar without chipping brick edges
Power grinders cut mortar fast, and they can nick brick edges and widen joints just as fast. The National Park Service shows how mechanical grinders can chip the edges and corners of older bricks.
BIA adds that a grinder cannot clear the short vertical joints to full depth without cutting the brick beside them, so those are finished with a chisel. Chipped edges also make the joints look wider, which changes how the chimney reads long after the mortar has weathered in.
Our crew chooses tools joint by joint and uses hand tools where the brick is soft or the joints are thin.
Repairing the sloped shoulders of a chimney
Where a chimney steps in above the fireplace, the brick forms a sloped shoulder that collects rain. BIA recommends setting uncored or paving brick on a bed over that slope for weather resistance.
A mortar wash is the alternative, and BIA notes it may be less durable. When one is used, it should fill each step individually instead of bridging across the slope. Water that gets through a cracked wash runs straight into the core of the chimney below.
We check the shoulders for open joints and cracked washes, and explain which repair suits yours.
When repair turns into rebuilding
Masonry repair works while most of the chimney is sound. When loose courses, cracked brick and failed joints run through a whole section, taking that section down and relaying it can be the more durable choice.
The line is not the size of the crack. It is how much sound masonry remains to tie the repair into. A section that keeps needing patches every few years is another sign the line has been crossed.
We show you where that line falls on your chimney and price both options when both are realistic.
