When the facing of chimney bricks begin to flake off or mortar starts to fall out structural problems can result. If the cause of the deterioration is remedied quickly many times a chimney's life can be extended. But there are times when a chimney is beyond repair and requires a complete knock-down and rebuild. The chimney is exposed to the elements year-round and subject to large temperature swings and weather conditions. The flue vents out extremely hot gases and smoke whenever in use and these extremes do take their toll over the years.

Preventing Water Damage

Many chimneys exhibit white staining on the outside surface. This is called efflorescence and is caused by water mixed with leaching salt that are flowing out from the inside of the chimney. The water-tight seal that needs to exist in the system has been compromised and the chimney is in danger of additional serious damage.

Chimney crowns are another area of concern when it comes to wear and tear. The crown needs to keep water out of the rest of the chimney structure, and once in begins to crack or fall apart it is no longer doing it's job. Although it is a major repair, crown rebuilding can save the entire chimney when it is done in time.

When mortar begins to crack and decay, repointing (scraping out the old mortar and refilling with a special new mortar material) or tuckpointing can bring the chimney back into working order without extensive masonry repairs. Once the brick or masonry itself begins to fail, more drastic measures are called for.
