Repair, repoint or rebuild in Newton
For Newton's old brick chimneys, the goal is to stop water before the masonry deteriorates further. That usually means repointing open joints with a mortar matched to the age and softness of the brick, rebuilding the crown with a proper overhang, installing a cap, and applying a breathable water repellent. If the upper courses are badly spalled or the chimney leans, we rebuild from a sound course up and match the brick as closely as possible.
Inside, any flue that serves a fireplace, wood stove or heating appliance should be inspected. Older flues that were converted between fuels over the decades often need a liner sized to the current appliance. We also coordinate flashing repair with any roofing work so the chimney base is addressed once and correctly.
