Before:
The bricks were so badly spalled that the only solution
was to rebuild the entire chimney with new brick.
|
After:
The chimney was salvaged. Note the close brick match to
the original.
|
|
Before:
The upper portion of this chimney was "fanning" (bricks
were displaced in the shape of a fan) so it needed to be
rebuilt.
|
After:
The upper portion was rebuilt with salvaged brick (per customer's
request) so you would not see a difference between the old
and new brick.
|
|
Before:
Bricks were actually missing on the top of this chimney.
|
After:
The top part of the chimney was rebuilt. Again, note the
close brick match to the original.
|
|
Before:
This entire chimney was riddled with crazed and spalled
brick.
|
After:
The entire chimney had to be rebuilt with new masonry units
that could withstand the harsh temperatures.
|
|
Before:
This chimney had missing and spalled brick in addition to
severely eroded mortar joints.
|
After:
The paint was removed using chemicals, all defective bricks
were replaced and the chimney was tuckpointed completely.
|
|
Before:
This chimney had never been tuckpointed before. Notice how
washed out the mortar joints are.
|
After:
Tuckpointing was performed on the entire chimney using a
tooled mortar joint.
