Boston is home to harsh winters, which means tuckpointing services are needed for those lucky enough to have a chimney in their come. In general, the mortar for a chimney lasts about 25 years.

Our Tuckpointing Services

Professional tuckpointing services are crucial to the well-being of any chimney. When the mortar of a chimney starts to deteriorate, then moisture can leak into the chimney system. This is a problem when the winter months roll around, because these leaks then freeze and turn to ice. When this happens, the brick, stone and cement will eventually break apart. This is an issue that needs to be dealt with sooner than later, because this deterioration can compromise the entire chimney! Our tuckpointing services for those in the Boston area will ensure the chimney works safely.

Chimney Mortar Repair Signs

There are some easy-to-spot signs when it comes to the degrading of chimney mortar. Which then means some professional tuckpointing services are in order. The most common sign is the flaking of the mortar. When mortar becomes weaker, it will lead to moisture infiltrating the brick and stone. When this happens, the masonry will flake or pop off as a result of it.

Testing the mortar is possible. So you can verify what you are seeing. Simply rub a key across the mortar and if you scratch up a powdered material, then this may be a larger issue in need of attention. Because if the masonry was up to standard, then the key dragging shouldn't produce any scratching.
