Common signs include cracked brickwork, deteriorating mortar joints, leaning chimneys, water leaks, loose bricks, white staining, or pieces of masonry falling from the structure. These issues can worsen quickly due to Illinois freeze-thaw weather conditions.
Moisture penetration, harsh Midwest winters, freeze-thaw cycles, aging mortar joints, and poor drainage are some of the most common causes of chimney deterioration throughout Northern Illinois.
A chimney rebuild may be necessary when the structure has severe cracking, loose or missing brick, structural instability, or extensive water damage that cannot be corrected with standard repairs or tuckpointing alone.
Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar joints and replacing them with new mortar to restore the strength, appearance, and weather resistance of brick and stone masonry structures.
