Professional Brick Restoration and Masonry Services by Chimney Experts

Although an excellent chimney masonry job is made to withstand exposure to harsh weather conditions, the brick wall is still vulnerable to wear and tear after several years or decades. When you notice a broken brick or loose brick here and there, it’s best to check the surrounding brick for signs of brick deterioration.

Proper chimney maintenance is one of the best ways to ensure that the old brick wall won’t crack and crumble too easily. Make sure to call a professional chimney mason to identify and fix brick damage in your house before they become a complex problem and cause more damage.

At Chimney Genie, we strive for transparency and we want to give our clients to the services possible. Don’t hesitate to ask us about how to maintain your chimney’s old brickwork, when to call us for repair methods like brick replacement and tuckpointing, and what we can do to restore  damaged brick structures.

What Happens During Our Brick Repair Services

  • Step 1: Our chimney technician uses a video inspection system to check the state of your chimney’s existing brick wall. This allows us to look for masonry problems like a crack on the brick surface, a missing old mortar joint, and other similar brick work concerns.
  • Step 2: After finding the issue, we’ll come up with a plan to solve it. We might need to replace brick structures and apply new mortar on the brick surface. We always make sure to let our clients know about the process, so don’t hesitate to ask us anything.
  • Step 3: We prepare for the replacement brick service using the specialized tools we brought with us. The time it takes to complete this task depends on how severe the brick problem is.
  • Step 4: We inspect the new and solid brick wall for any damage we might have missed. Once everything looks good, we leave clients with a few tips on how to maintain their chimney and furnace to prevent similar problems in the future.

FAQs About Brick Repair and Masonry Work

Q: What does brick spalling mean?

A: This is a common chimney mason problem in which the brick surface breaks off from the chimney wall. They usually happen because of water damage – the water seeps into the brick and freezes inside its pores, causing the bricks to slowly break away. The best way to prevent this is to waterproof the exterior of the chimney.

Q: What is tuckpointing for?

A: Tuckpointing is the application of fresh mortar into the mortar joints to repair the recent damage and prevent further damage to the adjacent bricks. It’s the best solution for crumbling mortar joints in the chimney of an old house.

Q: Should I have a new flue liner installed?

A: Most old mason chimneys found in old houses have clay flue tiles that are prone to shifting and cracking after a long time. Installing a new flue liner minimizes the risk of chimney fires and poisoning from toxic fumes because it keeps the combustion byproducts from leaking into the house.
