Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

What are the Scenarios that would Warrant a Repoint Done Over a Rebuild?

Chimney rebuild is such a work that comes in handy when you need to develop a totally new chimney. If you are moving for a new home and you find that the chimney is in a falling stage, then chimney rebuild can be done. But chimney repointing is a different aspect. This work is considered as the most important and tough one as far as chimney maintenance is concerned. This type of work can be done to get the chimney in the right shape and into a working condition.

In order to build a masonry chimney mortar and bricks can be used. Well, the bricks can last really long but mortar can last near about twenty five years. So, this is where the chimney repointing work comes in handy. With time chimney can come across a stage where the mortar joints need a refilling. That means during the chimney repointing work the mortar joints are again filled after proper treatment and the sealant is applied so that the mortar and bricks will not come across a falling or separation like stages.

It's a kind of job that needs experienced chimney sweep. Not every chimney sweep can accomplish this task with a higher level of accuracy. So, hiring an experienced and professional chimney sweep for the chimney repointing like work seems to be the best choice. Once this work is done, your chimney will be ready to work for a long time. The result you will get is just perfect and long lasting. When the professional chimney sweep suggests your chimney has to be rebuilt, it's vulnerable to chimney fire as well as beyond simple repair of the existing materials. There're 4 causes that will lead to chimney's end of the life and it includes original construction, usage frequency, weather and maintenance. Suppose there's faulty initial construction, and frequent usage over many years, and lack of the annual cleanings and maintenance, you're your chimney can begin to degrade. This generally means mortar is crumbling and bricks are cracking. The chimney is an only part of rooftop that isn't protected by roof. Brick is been exposed to all kinds of the weather in area. Exposure to elements like infiltration of the water or area that freezes or thaws often throughout a year cause wear at chimney Suppose it degrades mortar completely, this will need chimney rebuild.

Suppose your fireplace has cracks and crumbling mortar while you run trowel all along bricks, it has to get replaced. Suppose it's pre-fabricated, it's necessary to adhere on makers pre-designated panels on replacement of the firebox.

Masonry cement preparation: You need to follow the instructions that will come with cement package, or mix right combinations of cement, sand, or other ingredients. The sweep will require existing mortar analyzed & matched so consistency of new mortar matches an original.

Cleaning old stuff: Remove mortar in a fire box using hand rake & throw away the material. Mortar is stuck to bricks needs to get loosened with help of crowbar and released using trowel.
