Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Crack in Mortar Joint of Chimney

Water leaks and frost can cause cracks on the chimney either on the firebricks or the mortar joint. However, it is easier to repair a crack in the mortar joint than the crack in the firebrick. In repairing it, you need to have a drill cutter and a mortar cement to repair it. The first thing that you need to do is use an angle grinder with a diamond blade to deepen the mortar joints because in this way, you can replace it with thicker mortar and not just simply patching it. After deepening the joints, clean the area because dirt and dust will make the hold of the mortar weak. Just to make sure that the hold will be strong, spray the area with water and apply the mortar mix by using a 3/8 inch mortar trowel to insert the mortar mix between the joints. This is a very complex thing and not everyone can understand how the working is, hire professionals to get the job done in order to avoid any kind of problems and keep things safe.

Fill up the horizontal mortar joints with the mortar mix first before filling up the vertical joints. Then press the mortar mix with a convex trowel to tighten its hold on the old mortar. Wait for the mortar to cure but before anything else, make sure that you will wear a dust mask and safety glasses for your own protection. The best way to repair it is by asking a professional to do it for you if you don't know anything about masonry or chimney structures because they are the ones who knew what to materials to use to repair a cracked mortar joint of a chimney. It would be safer that way, and he would also know the safety precautions that he needs to do before, after, and while repairing the mortar joint. If we are not going to repair the cracks on the mortar joint, it would become dangerous.

Having cracks in the mortar joint of the chimney need to be traced before it adds a good amount of problems for the whole structure. If you have a masonry chimney installed at your home for the indoor fireplace, then you should pay attention towards this problem first. With time cracks can appear in the mortar joints. Well, these cracks need to be filed up quickly. If you will ignore this, then it can create more problems for the while chimney and you will not receive the best use of your indoor fireplace or the kitchen stove. Having cracks at these joints will help the smoke and exhausted air to trap into them. This is how the creosote will start appearing in the chimney. Creosote is a highly combustible element and it can easily catch fire once the heat will remain high. So by filing those cracks with quality cement you can avoid this type of issue.
