At a job site, our teams will brief homeowners about chimney repairs and what to look for when planning out a repair before the pair roll up their sleeves and get to work. We discuss common chimney problems and arm homeowners with the information they need to hire a licensed professional Chimney Repair NYC to carry out the repairs, including safety protocols.

We work together to repoint the Chimney Repair NYC by first grinding down the mortar joints. To do this, we use a grinder with a vacuum attachment and hand chisel and wear the proper safety equipment, including safety glasses and earplugs. We remove excess dust with a damp masonry brush and then use type-N mortar to fill the joints. For this process, the type-N mortar will be mixed to an oatmeal consistency, then a finishing trowel and margin trowel will be used to apply the mortar to the chimney.

Based on the age of the chimney, our technicians repoint after the mortar cures (cure times vary; check the label on the mortar). A waterproofing agent will be applied to the Chimney Repair NYC. After cleaning the chimney exterior with a masonry detergent, we will use a waterproofing agent by applying one coat to the chimney with a spray attachment. To apply the waterproofing agent, our teams will work their way side-to-side, beginning at the bottom of the chimney, then moving up the chimney to the top.
