How our crew repoints a chimney in Whisper Lakes
Worth reading before you approve joint work in Whisper Lakes.
Caulk squeezed into mortar joints
Caulk is sometimes pushed into cracked or open joints as a stopgap. It may seal for a season, but it does not fill the joint, it does not breathe like mortar and new mortar will not bond to it.
Before repointing your Whisper Lakes chimney, our crew removes any caulk or sealant from the joints being worked. That can take extra time, and it is listed in the estimate so it is not a surprise. Caulk at the flashing is a separate matter and is handled with the flashing.
Very soft, lime-rich mortars
At the soft end of the range, Technical Note 46 describes Type K as the weakest mortar and generally reserved for historic masonry, and Preservation Brief 2 discusses lime and sand mixes for the softest brick.
Most chimneys we repoint in Whisper Lakes do not need mortar that soft. If yours shows very soft, old brick and lime mortar, we tell you so at the inspection and explain what matching it would involve, including whether the job needs a specialist approach beyond routine tuckpointing. The estimate states which approach we recommend and why.

What Whisper Lakes homeowners ask about chimney mortar
Quick answers from our pointing crew in Whisper Lakes. Ask us anything that is missing.
Do hairline cracks need full repointing?
Not always. Fine cracks in otherwise sound mortar can sometimes be handled with face grouting, while cracks through the joint call for repointing. We check which applies on your Whisper Lakes chimney.
Do you remove old caulk and patches from the joints?
Yes. Caulk and smeared patches are removed down to sound mortar before repointing, because new mortar will not bond to them. Any extra time this takes is listed in the estimate.
