Masonry Repointing
Repointing restores brick and mortar durability.
Overview
Masonry repointing involves repairing the mortar joints between bricks, enhancing the structural integrity and appearance of your chimney.
Over time, weather and wear can cause mortar to crack and crumble, compromising the chimney's stability and allowing water intrusion.
