Getting a stone chimney repair right in Rock Springs Ridge
Straight from stone jobs around Rock Springs Ridge, the details that set your repair plan.
Full mortar coverage behind each stone
The same instructions require a setting bed with complete coverage of the back of each unit and full contact between mortar, stone and backing. Stones are back-buttered to fill their textured backs, then pressed into a half inch to three quarters of an inch of mortar until it squeezes out around the whole edge.
Stones set with a few dabs of mortar leave voids behind them. Those voids hold water and let stones pop off. When we reset veneer, every stone goes back with full coverage.
White bloom on stone veneer
Efflorescence is a water-soluble deposit left on masonry as water evaporates from the wall. For manufactured stone, one maker advises letting the stone dry thoroughly, then scrubbing with a stiff bristle brush and clean water, and for stubborn cases a solution of one part white household vinegar to five parts water, rinsed thoroughly.
Cleaning treats the symptom. The water that carried the deposits out is the real finding, and we trace it to the cap, the flashing or the base before calling the job done.
Reaching the upper stones safely
Upper stones, the cap and the roof flashing are reached from the roof or from staging. The roof pitch, the roofing material and the chimney height decide which.
We plan access during the free inspection and protect the roofing around the chimney with pads and tarps. Tools and stones stay off the shingles. The access plan is written into the estimate, so you know what to expect on the day.
Written findings after the inspection
After the inspection, you receive written findings describing the stone type and construction, loose and hollow units, the joints, earlier repairs, the cap, the flashing, the base and any signs of water.
The findings also say what could not be seen, such as the barrier behind intact veneer. Keep them with your home records. They speed up the next yearly check and hand any future mason a clear record.
