Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Explain the process of repointing a chimney vs. rebuilding. What are the scenarios that would warrant a rebuild over repointing?

Repointing is considered as one of the most important maintenance hob that is done for masonry chimneys. It is also considered to be as the toughest one among all the maintenance works done for a chimney. As far as repointing is concerned, a proper professional hand is required to complete the job with utmost accuracy. During repointing the joints area of the mortar is removed in order to place the new mortar. This type of work can be only done by a professional chimney sweep that uses to have great experience in this field.

As far as chimney rebuilding is concerned, this type of work is needed when a chimney comes to a falling condition. This is the time when temporary repair works cannot even deliver great outcome. With a falling chimney you cannot really go for the temporary work. It will surely not last long. So, this is always important to go for a rebuild. However, a professional chimney sweep can only mention you whether a chimney needs rebuild or some kind of temporary works. Well, before a professional chimney sweep takes such decision, he checks the suitability and efficiency of the chimney first. On the basis of the data collected during the inspection of the chimney, he can take the decision about chimney rebuild.

There are many elements that can hamper the overall efficiency, function and material used for the chimney. So, you need to pay attention towards these elements in order to keep the chimney in the best shape for a long time.

Why Chimney Repointing is Necessary

Repointing is the essential component of the chimney masonry maintenance. Nicely done mortar joints will last for years before any repairs are required, however brick that actually surrounds them will last over 100 years. The weather plays very important factor to determine how much long the mortar joints can last. When weather starts its descent in winter, we are susceptible to certain changes in the temperatures and rain turning in sleet in snow, and followed by sunny and crisp winter day. The weather may mess with the head, however it destroys the masonry. The moisture is been absorbed in brick & mortar, with temperature fluctuations water contracts and expands. For such reason, compression strength of the mortar is very less than brick. As the temperatures fluctuate, expanding brick overpowers its expanding mortar. With years of the thermal expansion cycles, it can cause damage to mortar that it may need to get repaired. Suppose mortar was not much softer than the bricks, then regular reconstruction of masonry will be essential.

Process of Chimney Repointing

Repointing the masonry chimney needs skilled expert. Repointing is more than only slapping some mortar in cracks. Process needs different skills than the traditional masonry, and masons with several years of the experience may not have huge experience repointing brick. Biggest challenge in repointing is to determine extent of mortar damage & removing the damaged joints without even causing damage.
