Chimney Tuckpointing & Repointing

If repair is neglected, spalling (caused by freezing and thawing bricks) can occur in which the bricks expand and contract and wreak havoc on your chimney's structural integrity.

When your chimney’s mortar begins to experience wear and tear (typically over the course of 25 years), cracks and decay can form, resulting in the need for tuckpointing and repointing by the Chimney Doctors team of professionals. This is a common procedure in which a damaged mortar is replaced, and your chimney’s structure is restored. When mortar is compromised in any way, it’s imperative to have it repaired so water cannot enter the chimney system and cause the build-up of excess moisture. Call our team for chimney tuckpointing and repointing experts as soon as you see any signs of deterioration. Having these issues addressed as quickly as possible is essential for eliminating and preventing moisture from entering your chimney system in the future and causing major leaks.

Here are some of the most noticeable signs that chimney tuckpointing and repointing are necessary for your home:

Damaged drywall (any water damage surrounding the walls of your chimney).
Rusty fireplace or damper.
Flaking, cracked, or discolored mortar.
Spalling and deteriorated brickwork.
Any cracking throughout the chimney.

A professional chimney expert will detect these issues and others during a typical chimney inspection and determine if your chimney needs tuckpointing and repointing. Our team can also perform brick-pointing services. However, if you’ve noticed any signs of chimney deterioration, it’s important to call a trusted chimney company for prompt service.

Chimney Relining

Have you noticed issues with any of your home’s heating appliances?

If your stove, fireplace, furnace, or water heater is not properly functioning, your chimney may be to blame. In many cases, a chimney inspection may uncover the need to have your flue repaired or relined. Our technicians specialize in chimney lining and fireplace relining, using advanced video equipment to identify liner damage.

Depending on our findings, our team will recommend the following chimney lining or repair option:

Stainless Steel. Stainless steel liners are generally the best option for repair and restoration purposes. These liners are durable and safe and often come with a lifetime warranty.
Aluminum liners to help your heating appliance vent more efficiently.

No matter which types of appliances you have (oil or gas furnace, gas stove or fireplace, etc.), our team can handle your chimney lining needs, while always delivering superior customer service.

The rainy and winterly climate throughout Minnesota can cause chimneys to become damaged due to freezing and thawing bricks. This can significantly affect the structural integrity of the chimney, often resulting in leakage, discoloration, and irreparable damage. This makes major repairs or full chimney rebuild for homes in the Twin Cites very common.

We offer people in the Twin Cites chimney rebuilding services including the following:

Brick replacement. We can repair damaged bricks and install replacement brick that matches in both strength and appearance, safely and professionally securing it to the chimney mortar.

Happy Customer Stories

““Excellent work by Josh, Victor, and Grant. I 100% appreciate that they took their time and didn’t rush my chimney restoration.

A few other places told me they’d have to come out every so often to repair. What sold me on Chimney Doctors is when another one of their technicians (Hal) said that they are more in the business of doing it right the first time. Thanks guys!””
