This North Chesterfield homeowner reached out to Retex in September 2023 after noticing a leak near her chimney. Retex’s Mak Erickson stopped by to assess her roof and noticed that her chimney was in desperate need of repointing.


What is chimney repointing, you ask? 


Chimney repointing fixes the mortar seals between the bricks of your chimney. Even the best mortar seals last about 25-30 years. If left unattended, you may end up with a leaky chimney and, worst-case scenario, a structural collapse. On the other hand, repointing your chimney will give you at least 25 years of peace of mind. 


If you’re a homeowner in the Richmond area and you’ve noticed water spots near your fireplace, Retex is the team to call for both roof and chimney assessments. Reach us at 804-258-6300 to schedule a free estimate today.
