Chimney Pointing & Repair Services

Restore your masonry, seal leaks, and extend chimney life with professional pointing.

Restore structural integrity and prevent leaks with expert mortar repair.

Chimney Pointing & Repointing Services

Pointing (or repointing) is the process of repairing deteriorated mortar between bricks or stones. Over time, mortar can crack, crumble or erode—allowing water to penetrate and weaken the chimney structure. We remove the damaged material and apply fresh, weather-resistant mortar to restore strength and prevent leaks.

This service is essential in humid climates like Chattanooga, and in neighboring areas like Ringgold and Dalton, where seasonal weather cycles accelerate masonry wear. Proper pointing not only improves structural integrity, but also enhances the exterior look of your chimney.

Restore the Strength of Your Chimney with Expert Repointing

Mortar joints are the first line of defense in your chimney’s structure. Over time, exposure to weather can cause them to crack, crumble, or fall out completely. Chimney repointing involves removing old, failing mortar and replacing it with new, high-strength mix—matched in color and texture for a seamless finish.

Our repointing services help prevent water infiltration, brick displacement, and long-term deterioration. We focus on preserving both the durability and aesthetic of your chimney so it stays strong for decades to come.

Targeted Brick Repairs

That Blend Seamlessly

When individual bricks start to spall, crack, or become loose, full chimney rebuilds aren’t always necessary. Our targeted brick replacement service focuses on restoring only the damaged areas while preserving your existing structure.

Using matching brick and mortar, our team ensures that repaired sections blend in flawlessly with the original construction. It’s a cost-effective solution that keeps your chimney looking and performing like new.

Chimney Crown & Cap Repair for Lasting Protection

Stop water at the top before it causes major damage below.

Your chimney crown and cap are vital components that prevent water, animals, and debris from entering the flue and structure. Cracks or deterioration in these areas can lead to leaks, rust, and even interior damage.

We repair or replace crowns and install properly sized caps to direct water away from your chimney. Every installation is sealed for durability, giving your chimney a watertight finish and peace of mind year-round.

Flashing & Roofline Joint Repairs That Seal Out Leaks

One of the most common sources of chimney leaks is failed flashing—the metal that seals the intersection between your chimney and roof. When it becomes loose, rusted, or poorly sealed, water seeps in and damages both structures.

Our team inspects and restores all flashing joints, repointing the surrounding masonry and resealing gaps for a fully integrated barrier. We ensure your chimney and roof work together to keep water out for good.

Prevent Future Damage with Full Waterproofing Treatments

Seal your investment with breathable, long-lasting protection. After all repairs are complete, waterproofing is the final—and essential—step. We apply high-performance, vapor-permeable sealants that allow your chimney to breathe while locking out rain, snow, and ice. This treatment protects your masonry from freeze-thaw cycles and erosion, extending the life of your repairs. Whether your chimney is newly repointed or decades old, waterproofing is your best line of defense against future deterioration.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

What’s the difference between pointing and tuckpointing?

“Pointing” or “repointing” is the structural repair of damaged mortar joints. Tuckpointing is more aesthetic—embedding contrasting lines to mimic historic joints.

How long does pointing last?

When done correctly, pointing can last 15–30 years, depending on climate exposure and maintenance.

Can pointing fix a leaning chimney?

Pointing helps mortar issues, but a leaning or severely damaged chimney may require partial or full rebuild. We will assess and advise accordingly.

Will the new mortar match my brick color?

Yes. We customize mortar color and texture so repairs blend seamlessly with your existing brickwork.

Is pointing better than replacing the entire chimney?

Yes, when damage is limited, pointing is far more cost-effective than a full rebuild—and it preserves the original masonry.

Do you serve my area for chimney pointing?

Absolutely. We serve homeowners within 90 miles of Chattanooga, including Cleveland, Ringgold, Trenton, and parts of Alabama and Georgia.
