Mortar Repair
Renewing failed mortar joints to lock the masonry together and shut out water.
Mortar is the glue holding your chimney together, and it wears out faster than the brick around it. When joints crack, soften or wash away, the masonry loosens and water pours in. Renewing the mortar restores the bond and seals the surface against the weather.
