House pointing

Chimney pointing is the process of replacing the mortar between the bricks in a chimney. Mortar is a mixture of cement, sand, and water that is used to bind the bricks together. Over time, the mortar can degrade due to exposure to the elements, such as rain, snow, and wind. This can cause the mortar to crack, crumble, and fall away, leaving gaps between the bricks. These gaps can allow water to leak into the chimney, which can damage the bricks and the structure of the chimney. In addition, water can also cause mold and mildew to grow inside the chimney, which can be a health hazard.

Chimney pointing is an important maintenance task that should be performed every 10-15 years. If you notice any cracks, crumbling, or missing mortar in your chimney, it is important to have it repointed as soon as possible. Repointing a chimney is a relatively inexpensive and easy task that can help to prevent serious damage to your chimney and your home.

Here are some of the benefits of chimney pointing:

• Prevents water damage to the chimney and the home

• Prevents the growth of mold and mildew

• Improves the appearance of the chimney

• Extends the life of the chimney
