Looking for ways to fix a crumbling chimney structure, without having to invest in an entire chimney rebuild? If damages are not too extensive, you should be able to find success with the tuckpointing services. If your mortar is crumbling and flaking, then it is a clear sign that it needs professional attention and care. At Sweeps & Ladders, we are trained and equipped to help your resolve any of your fireplace and chimney troubles.
What Is Tuckpointing?
So, what exactly does the tuckpointing entail? First, your old, worn out mortar will be removed with our specialized tools and equipment. Then, we will fill in these gaps and openings with new mortar, giving you a streamlined look that you can enjoy for years to come. Once this is complete, the overall appearance of your system will be drastically better, and it also helps to strengthen your structure too. That last thing anyone needs is a collapsed chimney, so investing in care as soon as possible.
DIY Or Call A Pro?
Tuckpointing may seem sounds quite simple. You might wonder if you could simply invest in a caulk gun and fill in those gaps yourself. Well, you could, but you will not wind up with the sturdy, reliable results compared to a professional tuckpointing service. The end results may not look as nice either, and there is a good chance the color of your new materials will not match the old ones, which could give your chimney an unpolished and sloppy look.
A team of experts, like our crew, knows how to match the new materials to the old in a way that looks seamless and natural. You can trust that we use products that will stand the test of time. Eager to learn more? Give us a call today. We would be happy to answer your questions.
