What Are Common Signs That My Chimney Needs Repair?

Cracked or missing mortar joints, crumbling brick, a leaning chimney, loose chimney caps, damaged crowns, or water stains on the interior walls near your fireplace. In Chicago’s climate, these issues tend to worsen quickly due to the freeze-thaw cycle.

Do You Repair or Replace Chimney Caps?

Yes, we provide professional chimney cap repair and replacement to prevent water, debris, and animals from entering your chimney. If a replacement is necessary, we ensure your new cap matches your chimney's size and style.

When Does a Chimney Need to Be Rebuilt Instead of Repaired?

If the brick is severely deteriorated, the structure is leaning, or moisture damage has compromised large sections of mortar, repairs may not be enough to restore it. In these cases, a partial or full rebuild ensures safety and restores the structural integrity of your home’s chimney.

Will the New Brick and Mortar Match My Chimney?

Our masons work carefully to source bricks and color-match mortar so the repaired sections blend seamlessly with your original chimney.

How Long Do Chimney Repairs Take?

The timeline depends on the level of damage. Small tuckpointing jobs may take a few hours, while full rebuilds can take several days. After an evaluation, we will provide a transparent timeline before work begins.

Are Chimney Repairs Covered by Your Warranty?

Yes, all masonry repairs and rebuilds are covered by Kerry Tuckpointing’s workmanship warranty. Our licensed masons stand behind every project we complete.

Nothing can weaken the mortar in your chimney faster than moisture. When moisture get into the mortar and freezes, it will cause the brick face to deteriorate. Once this happens, your brick is useless, as it offers no support to the structure. This can lead to extensive repairs.
