Professional, Durable Tuckpointing

With all of the moisture we see here in the Southern Maryland area, it’s no wonder so many chimneys are riddled with cracked and crumbling masonry. These porous materials naturally absorb moisture when it rains or snows, and unfortunately, as temperatures rise and fall, they are subjected to the freeze/thaw process that causes cracks, gaps, holes, and deterioration. But there is a solution!

The professional chimney technicians here at Chesapeake Chimney & Co. perform expert tuckpointing work, carefully and strategically removing damaged mortar and packing fresh mortar in its place. The process requires a lot of experience, education, and skill if it’s to turn out clean, aesthetically-pleasing, and long-lasting. Trusting the job to the inexperienced can leave you with a mess and a chimney that’s no longer structurally sound. But with Chesapeake Chimney & Co., you can put your tuckpointing fears to bed.
