Chimney Tuckpointing Services in Central Illinois
Restore the Strength and Appearance of Your Chimney
Mortar is the glue that holds your chimney together—but it doesn’t last forever. Exposure to rain, snow, ice, and heat causes mortar joints to erode, crack, and crumble over time. When that happens, the structural stability of your chimney is at risk.
At Force Masonry Construction, we specialize in chimney tuckpointing, the process of removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh, color-matched mortar. This service not only improves your chimney’s appearance—it prevents costly water damage and structural failure.
Signs You May Need Chimney Tuckpointing
-
Crumbling or flaking mortar joints
-
Gaps or missing sections of mortar between bricks
-
Loose or shifting bricks
-
White, chalky staining (efflorescence) on the masonry
-
Water leaking into the firebox or surrounding areas
-
Chimney has an aged or weathered appearance
If left untreated, failing mortar can lead to water intrusion, brick damage, and even chimney collapse.
Our Tuckpointing Process
Our chimney tuckpointing process is thorough, clean, and built to last:
-
Inspection – We assess the condition of the mortar joints to determine the depth and extent of damage.
-
Mortar Removal – Old, crumbling mortar is carefully ground or chiseled out without damaging the surrounding brick.
-
Joint Cleaning – We remove debris and dust from the joints to ensure new mortar bonds properly.
-
Mortar Matching – We mix new mortar that matches your existing color and texture to maintain your chimney’s appearance.
-
Application – Fresh mortar is applied, compacted, and tooled to match the original joint profile.
-
Finishing Touches – Once cured, the area is cleaned and inspected for strength and consistency.
