Chimney repointing is a crucial maintenance task that involves repairing the mortar between the bricks to prevent structural damage and ensure safety. Over time, exposure to the elements can cause the mortar to crack and deteriorate, which may lead to water intrusion and further damage. 

The expense of repointing a chimney can vary depending on the extent of the damage, the height and accessibility of the chimney, and local labor costs.  Estimate is given at the time of the inspection. 

It’s important to address mortar cracks promptly to avoid more costly repairs in the future, such as rebuilding parts of the chimney or addressing water damage inside the home. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the life of your chimney and keep repair costs manageable.
