When chimney mortar starts to crack or crumble, your entire structure is at risk. That’s why Technician Art recently completed a chimney tuckpointing job on Lake Avenue in Wilmette. This service involved carefully removing deteriorating mortar and replacing it with fresh, durable joints—restoring both strength and appearance to the chimney.

Tuckpointing isn’t just about aesthetics. Cracked mortar joints allow moisture to seep in, which can lead to internal chimney damage, brick displacement, and even collapse over time. By addressing the issue early, this Wilmette homeowner avoided expensive structural repairs down the road.
