Chimney Stack Mortar Repointing

This recent chimney repointing project involved repairing a chimney stack where the mortar had fallen out. We carefully ground out the old mortar and refilled the joints with fresh mortar to ensure the stack’s stability and longevity.

What We Did: This job required us to replace the mortar on the chimney stack that had deteriorated over time. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

Initial Assessment and Safety Measures
We began by inspecting the chimney and ensuring it was safe to work on. After assessing the damage, we set up the site to prevent any debris from affecting the surrounding area.

Grinding Out the Old Mortar
The next step was carefully grinding out the old, crumbling mortar from between the bricks. This step is crucial as it creates space for the new mortar to bond effectively with the bricks, ensuring a solid, long-lasting finish.

Repointing the Mortar
We then mixed fresh, high-quality mortar and carefully repointed the chimney stack. The mortar was packed into the joints and smoothed for a neat, uniform finish that would stand the test of time.

Final Inspection and Clean-Up
After the new mortar had set, we completed a thorough inspection to make sure the stack was secure and the joints were properly filled. We finished the job by cleaning up the site, leaving it spotless and safe.
