Masonry & Chimney Repair
In Washington, rain and water is never far away. And no matter how this moisture arrives, it accumulates on the brick ledges and top of your chimney. No matter what, water will find every nook and cranny it can in your poor chimney, and this harsh weather can eventually wear away at your chimney.
The brick, block, mortar and concrete blocks that make up your chimney deteriorate over time, allowing moisture to penetrate into the small cracks and holes in the construction. Once water gets into these cracks and holes, it freezes, expands and will eventually destroy the chimney.
Western Washington gives us four beautiful seasons, but brings them with a tremendous amount of freeze/thaw cycles in the colder months. This can lead to the need for brick & mortar repair.
You depend on your chimney to be the conduit that removes deadly gases from your home every day. And the fact is that chimneys are typically one of the most taken-for-granted parts of any home. However, even these trusted pillars of the home aren’t impervious to the elements, and eventually will need to be repaired or maintained. That’s when you can call AACCR for all your Brick, Block and stone chimney solutions!

Quality Chimney Services
Chimney Repointing
Deteriorated and cracked mortar joints expose gaps that are entry spots for water. The repair performed to correct these gaps is known as “repointing” or “tuck pointing.”
Our technicians will repoint your chimney by grinding away the loose and crumbling mortar joints and replace them with new waterproof mortar, while at the same time replacing any damaged bricks to prevent water entry.
Sometimes repointing in combination with rebuilding a chimney is the correct repair for a water leak problem.
Our chimney repointing technicians have the training and experience to recommend the repair that is best in solving your chimney and/or fireplace problem.
Spalling Brick Repair
Brick's that have been compromised by the Freeze-thaw effect begin to chip and break apart from the inside out. This is called Spalling brick, and we specialize in targeting the problem bricks using The patented Dual-action Arbortech brick Saw. By partially removing the problem bricks we can then install new Slim Brick to add decades of life back to your chimney without having to rebuild the entire structure. And they look pretty good too!
