Chimneys take a beating from Connecticut weather, and failing mortar joints let water into the masonry and your home. StoneForge Paving & Masonry repairs and repoints brick and stone chimneys, restoring both the structure and the look.
Watch for crumbling or missing mortar, loose or spalling bricks, a cracked crown, white staining (efflorescence), leaning sections or water stains near the chimney inside the house. Catching these early with repointing or crown repair is far cheaper than a rebuild.

Answers about chimney masonry damage, repointing and crown repair.
Tuckpointing, or repointing, means removing worn mortar from the joints and replacing it with fresh mortar to seal out water and strengthen the masonry.
Crowns face constant freeze-thaw cycles. Small cracks let water in and grow over time, so early repair prevents bigger damage.
That is efflorescence, salt deposits left behind as water moves through the masonry. It is a sign that moisture is getting in.
Liners, flues and flashing are handled by specialist trades. We focus on the brick, stone, mortar and crown.
A visual check every year, ideally after winter, helps you catch loose mortar or crown cracks before they become costly.
