Stop Chimney Damage Before It Spreads

Mortar joints between bricks wear down faster than the bricks themselves. If your chimney has crumbling, cracked, or missing mortar, it's time for professional repointing. Without repair, your chimney is vulnerable to water infiltration, structural damage, and costly rebuilds.

Chim-Chim Churee provides expert tuckpointing and repointing services across Northern VA. We use color-matched mortar for a seamless finish that restores both strength and appearance.

Mortar is the material that bonds two bricks or masonry materials together. Typically the mortar is slightly less hard than the bricks themselves which can lead to mortar cracking or deteriorating more quickly than the bricks do themselves. In this case full removal of the entire brick is not necessary to repair the mortar however than mortar should be partially removed, new mortar applied, and then struck to match the finish of the existing mortar. When we remove old mortar we remove it down to about 1/3 the depth of the brick or approximately 1 inch. This will ensure that not too much material is removed that is losens the brick, but enough material is removed for us to add more mortar that will last.

Chimney Repointing in Manassas & Northern VA

What Is Chimney Repointing (Tuckpointing)?

Chimney repointing (or tuckpointing) is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh, color-matched mortar. This not only strengthens your chimney but also improves water resistance and aesthetics.

Left unaddressed, damaged mortar can lead to:

Water leaks inside your home
Brick loosening or displacement
Freeze/thaw damage during Virginia winters
Structural chimney instability

Signs Your Chimney Needs Repointing

Gaps or cracks between bricks
Sandy or powdery mortar falling out
Visible water damage or staining
Loose bricks or spalling brick faces
Leaks around the chimney during rain

Pro Tip: Annual inspections can catch early signs of mortar deterioration before repairs become expensive.

FAQs About Chimney Repointing

What’s the difference between repointing and tuckpointing?

They're often used interchangeably. Tuckpointing is a specialized form of repointing that uses two different mortar colors for a decorative effect, but in chimney repair, they're typically the same process.

How long does chimney repointing last?

A well-done repointing job can last 20-30 years, depending on exposure and materials.

Will it change how my chimney looks?

We match the mortar color as closely as possible to maintain the original look. Often, your chimney ends up looking better than before!
