Repair, repoint or rebuild in Hackettstown
On older Hackettstown chimneys, the priority is stopping water entry. We repoint open joints with a mortar matched to the softness of the brick, rebuild the crown, install a cap and apply a breathable water repellent. If the upper courses are badly spalled or loose, we rebuild from a sound course up and match the brick as closely as possible. Any flue serving a heating appliance or fireplace should be inspected and lined to suit the current use.
On development homes with prefab fireplaces, we replace rusted chase covers with properly sloped, sealed covers, reseal the storm collar and check the chase framing and flashing for water damage. For masonry fireplaces from the same era, the usual needs are crown repair, a cap and flashing work at the roofline.
