Benefits of Tuckpointing Your Chimney

To preserve the life of your chimney, tuckpointing is a crucial procedure. Below are some of the benefits associated with completing needed tuckpointing on chimneys:

.  Mortar joint corrosion is stopped.

.  The structural stability of the chimney will be restored. If you do not repair mortar joints you risk your chimney eventually beginning to lean or collapse.

.  Tuckpointing helps to prevent water from entering into the chimney system.  If you do not repair the mortar joints, water will seep down the chimney and sometimes between the chimney and the flue lining. Moisture can do a serious amount of unseen damage (i.e. mold).

.  Performing the procedure of tuckpointing is far more cost-effective than a complete tear-down and rebuild.
