Chimney Repair & Sweep in Webster Groves, MO
St. Louis County · Victorian, Craftsman and 1920s bungalows
Webster Groves is a historic-home town, and historic homes come with historic mortar. The most consequential mistake we see on Webster chimneys is repointing done with modern Portland-heavy mortar on soft, porous century-old brick. That makes the mortar harder than the brick, so the brick face spalls off instead of the mortar wearing — a repair that actively destroys the chimney. Matching the original mortar here is not optional.

Why Greater St. Louis chimneys take such a beating
St. Louis runs through roughly 40 to 50 freeze-thaw cycles a year. Water soaks into brick and mortar, freezes, expands, and splits it apart. This is the single biggest cause of chimney damage in the region.
