Chimney Repairs & Restoration

Keeping Your Chimney Strong, Safe & Weather-Resistant

Over time, chimneys endure harsh weather, heat, and natural wear, leading to cracks, deterioration, and potential safety risks. Whether you’ve noticed crumbling mortar, leaks, or structural damage, professional chimney repair and restoration is essential to preserve your chimney’s integrity and prevent costly future repairs.

At Artman Chimney Specialist, we specialize in expert crown restoration, tuckpointing, and waterproofing to keep your chimney functional, efficient, and protected against the elements.

Signs Your Chimney Needs Repair

✔ Cracks in the Chimney Crown – The chimney crown acts as a protective shield against water. If it’s cracked or deteriorating, moisture can seep in, leading to extensive brick and mortar damage.

✔ Crumbling or Missing Mortar Joints – When mortar between bricks begins to break down, it weakens the chimney’s structure and allows moisture penetration.

✔ Leaking Chimney – Water stains on walls, ceilings, or near the fireplace often indicate a moisture problem that requires immediate attention.

✔ Spalling Bricks – Flaking or chipping bricks are a sign of moisture damage, which can compromise chimney stability.

✔ White Staining (Efflorescence) – A white, powdery substance on your chimney indicates excess moisture absorption—a warning sign that waterproofing may be needed.

Our Chimney Repair & Restoration Services

Crown Repair – The chimney crown is the first line of defense against water intrusion. We seal and repair damaged crowns to prevent leaks and protect the chimney structure.

Tuckpointing & Brick Repair – Over time, mortar joints deteriorate, causing structural instability. Our tuckpointing process removes decayed mortar and replaces it with fresh, durable mortar, extending the life of your chimney and improving its appearance.

Waterproofing – To protect against moisture damage, we apply a specialized waterproofing sealant that repels water while allowing the masonry to breathe, preventing cracking and deterioration.
