Brick Pointing in NYC& Chimney Crown Repair
Chimney Experts Cleaning & Repair is a full-service chimney company providing brick pointing in NYC, chimney repairs and complete chimney rebuilding.
Why Does Your Chimney Masonry Need Tuckpointing?
Bricks are durable and can last for decades, but the mortar joints between them can deteriorate over time. Damaged joints can allow moisture into the masonry and contribute to further deterioration of the brickwork.
Bricks are durable and can last for decades, but the mortar joints between them can deteriorate over time. Damaged joints can allow moisture into the masonry and contribute to further deterioration of the brickwork.
Several parts of a chimney can become damaged, including the chimney cap and crown, mortar and bricks. Over time, cracked brickwork and deteriorated joints can contribute to water leaks and other chimney problems. Our technicians assess the condition of the masonry and explain the appropriate repairs. We also provide chimney rebuilding and chimney construction for new homes.
How Can You Tell Your Chimney Needs Mortar Repair?
If you own an older property, periodically checking the condition of your chimney masonry can help identify deterioration. Weathered, flaking or recessed mortar joints are reasons to arrange an assessment. A whitish coating on the brickwork can also indicate moisture movement and should be investigated.
Missing or cracked mortar may indicate a need for chimney mortar repair. Addressing damaged joints can help limit further deterioration, although the extent of the work depends on the condition of the surrounding bricks and masonry.
Previous repairs should also be checked where mortar is loose, cracked or separating from the brickwork. A difference in mortar colour alone does not necessarily mean the repair has failed. Our team can assess the joints and explain whether repointing or other masonry repairs are appropriate.

What is chimney tuckpointing?
The term commonly describes repairing deteriorated mortar joints in chimney masonry. Our team assesses the joints, removes damaged mortar where needed and replaces it with suitable mortar.
How do I know whether my chimney needs mortar repair?
Cracked, missing, loose or recessed mortar joints are reasons to arrange an inspection. We assess the brickwork and joints before recommending the appropriate work.
Is brick pointing the same as chimney rebuilding?
No. Brick pointing repairs mortar joints while retaining sound brickwork. Rebuilding involves taking down and reconstructing damaged sections. The condition of the chimney determines which work is appropriate.
Can mortar repairs help with chimney water leaks?
Deteriorated mortar joints can be one source of water entry. Other possible sources include the crown, cap and flashing, so an assessment is needed to identify the appropriate repair.
