Tuckpointing offers important benefits and is a crucial aspect for any chimney owner in the Boston area. Read more about the benefits of tuckpointing.

Before and After Tuckpointing Benefits

Here are some of the more common benefits of tuckpointing and why you should seek us out if you notice any issues with the mortar of your chimney. Stay ahead of the curve and keep your chimney working smooth.

• Moisture enters the chimney when it deteriorates, which causes the stone or brick masonry to break apart. So tuckpointing will extend the life of the chimney by providing a more waterproof mortar joint to keep moisture from infiltrating.
• Tuckpointing will stop the process of corrosion.
• When done properly, tuckpointing acts as a defense against moisture in general. It prevents unseen issues like mildew, mold, wood rot, and more from damaging your chimney.
• Tuckpointing will restore your chimney’s structural stability, which will save you money and prevent you from needing a full repair of your chimney.
• By having the chimney in good shape, you will increase the overall value of your home.
• Lastly, we can restore the original aesthetic beauty of your chimney. So it will look as good as new!

Step-by-Step Tuckpointing

Let's get into the nitty-gritty of tuckpointing, shall we? It is labor-intensive process that involves routing out the older, damaged mortar and replacing it with new mortar. When tuckpointing is done right, the benefits are evident and the original shape of the bricks and mortar is recreated. Here is a quick overview of the steps for tuckpointing:

• Ground down the older mortar to a uniform depth.
• Then, slide in new mortar in the grooves with a tuckpointing trowel.
• In the mortar, cut thin strips down the middle. This will form the grooves.
• Finally, use paint tint to match the mortar with the color on the outside of the chimney. Fill in the grooves with it.
