Masonry Repair
-
Spalling and Efflorescence on Chimneys
All masonry and chimney construction materials, erode because of water.
Brick • Mortar • Concrete • Concrete Block • Stone • Flue Tile • Steel • Cast Iron
Before Before During After After
A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather can be a potential safety hazard. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue obstructions, and loose masonry materials all present a threat to residents. Regular chimney maintenance is essential to prevent damage, deterioration, and high-cost chimney repairs.
While most stone is resistant to water penetration, large amounts of mortar are required to bond the stone together properly. Therefore, a stone chimney, just like a brick chimney, should be protected from the effects of water.
