Your chimney may look solid, but weather conditions, sun, rain, snow, and high heat can wear down chimney bricks and mortar joints over time. Damaged mortar or old mortar can compromise your chimney system, leading to structural damage, moisture issues, and carbon monoxide risks.
With over 12 years of experience and 3,000+ families served, GMT Home Services is your trusted partner for chimney pointing, masonry repairs, and chimney rebuilding. Our technicians are CSIA-certified and follow NFPA standards to ensure safety and quality.
Chimney pointing (also called chimney repointing or chimney tuckpointing) is the process of removing damaged mortar from mortar joints and filling them with new mortar. This restores structural integrity to your chimney bricks and prevents further damage caused by excess water, erosion, or harsh weather conditions.
