The chimney is one of the most taken-for-granted parts of a home in New Jersey.

Typically it tends to receive neither the attention nor the concern usually accorded other household service systems. The fact that chimneys may do their job reasonably well, even when abused or neglected, contributes to this atmosphere of indifference. Chimneys are far from the passive black holes that most people assume them to be.

They perform several vital functions, and their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction and performance requirements. A chimney deteriorated by constant exposure to the weather can be a potential safety hazard. Weather-damaged lining systems, flue obstructions and loose masonry.

Materials all present a threat to residents. Regular chimney maintenance is essential to prevent damage, deterioration and future high-cost chimney repair.

What can be wrong with my Chimney?

Why brick & masonry problems?

Brick replacement, brick repair, and brick cleaning are several ways to protect your home from the elements while improving its curb appeal. At Turnbull Masonry we provide a wide variety of brick services, including brick repair, brick replacement, and brick cleaning. Brick repair should only be handled by an expert mason with the knowledge to handle any job correctly.

Why do I need tuckpoint?‍

Tuckpointing, as it is commonly known, or more correctly, re-pointing, is necessary to replace the old mortar that is in need of repair. With time the mortar between the bricks can become damaged, this damage allows water, humidity and moisture to destroy the integrity of the brick. Replacing the old mortar on your home will help preserve the brick by creating a new seal.

Why chimney has deteriorated, cracked, chipped, has loose bricks, change of color and is dangerous?

As brickwork ages the risk of leaks it increases. In addition, damaged brick on a chimney may fall. You can avoid these risks and improve the appearance of your home with a complete or partial chimney rebuild. When your chimney is properly working it is built to keep you safe and warm. But if your chimney lacks appropriate maintenance it will develop problems that jeopardize your safety. This is why we don’t take chimney repairs or chimney rebuilds lightly.
