Here are three crucial repairing techniques that can help extend the life of your chimney.

• Crown Repair: It is the uppermost portion of the chimney, the plain white surface that has been used to fill the cracks with a dense cement solution. The entire chimney crown is then sealed with a waterproof sealant to protect the surface. Chimney crowns are made of metal, concrete, or stone. Crown repair is important because if left unchecked, it can cause damage to your chimney from the inside and outside.

 

• Stucco Work: It is a type of  plaster that covers your chimney and protects the bricks from breaking down. Therefore, Installing stucco work can be fashionable and functional. After a significant amount of time, water can penetrate into your home, causing significant damage. A plaster cladding (Double layer) made from lime or cement, can protect your brickwork.

 

• Chimney Brick Repointing: It is a method to renew the old bricks and mortar to maintain a safe and shielded chimney. If you noticed gaps in the mortar of your chimney, then you must consider getting it repointed. The primary tool for brick repointing is tuck pointing trowels to fill the gaps between the bricks. Tuck pointing is the method of repairing and refilling mortar joints between the bricks.
