Tuckpointing/Repointing are commonly needed masonry repairs that work to restore the mortar joints of the structure.  Mortar is the material that holds brick, tile, and stone together in a masonry structure, and, although durable, it can decay, crack, crumble, and recede. Oftentimes, mortar damage is a result of the house settling, insects, constant exposure to moisture, and other environmental conditions. If left in disrepair, things can go from bad to worse.

If you’ve noticed mortar damage and are looking for the right mason to repair your masonry, look no further than Atlas Chimney! We’ll carefully remove the damaged mortar and put new mortar in its place. And since we’re CSIA-certified professionals with a knowledge of masonry and years of experience, you can expect your new mortar to match your existing mortar in color, composition, and strength. Don’t let an amateur leave your masonry looking sloppy and mismatched – let our team do the job right!

Spalling

A process known as the “freeze-thaw cycle” can cause your brick to deteriorate from the inside out and the face of your brick to pop off, crack, or crumble. Not only does this take away from the charm of your masonry – but it also takes away from the strength and stability. If the brick on your hearth or chimney is looking worse than your hair at your prom, it’s time to call Atlas Chimney! We’ll repair or replace your brick and deliver expert results, every time!

Firebox Repair

The firebox inside of your fireplace takes some pretty serious abuse with each use – is it starting to show? We can help! Our team of experts can tuckpoint any gaps or cracks, and repair any other damage that may be allowing high heat and byproducts to access nearby walls. We can even replace refractory brick that’s taken a beating.

A damaged firebox is incredibly dangerous, as it’s the crucial area that houses the fire itself. Don’t leave your firebox in disrepair – call us!
