Natural Stone Chimney Repair
A natural stone chimney is built of real stone laid in mortar, sometimes over a brick or block core. Natural stone chimney repair usually means repointing open joints and resetting stones that water has loosened. Rock chimney repair on fieldstone follows the same approach, with extra care to match the joint style, which can be raised, flush or raked back.
Stones that have cracked through are replaced with pieces of similar colour and size, cut to fit the opening.
Stone Veneer Chimney Repair
Cultured stone chimney repair is different. Manufactured veneer is a thin layer set over a scratch coat on block or framing, and it depends on flashing, a weep screed at the base and a water-resistant layer behind it. When pieces pull away, the cause is often water trapped behind the veneer.
Stone veneer chimney repair follows the veneer maker's installation guide for setting new pieces. If the backing or flashing has failed, we explain what has to be opened up before new stone goes on.
Keeping Water Out of a Stone Chimney
Stone faces have more joints than brick, so the crown, cap and flashing matter even more. We check them at the same visit and price any work as separate lines. A breathable repellent can help porous stone once the joints are sound.
What We Check For
- Loose stone near the top
- Water has softened the joint. We reset the stone in fresh mortar.
- Veneer pieces pulling away
- Often trapped water behind the veneer. We check the backing and flashing.
- Open joints between stones
- Repointing closes them and keeps rain out.
Parts and Materials We Use
- Matched stone or veneer pieces
- Chosen for colour, size and texture.
- Mortar suited to stone
- Mixed to match the joint colour.

Signs This Work Is Due
Stone chimneys come in two kinds: real stone laid as a wall, and thin manufactured stone veneer set over a backing. Both loosen when water gets behind them. We reset loose stones, repoint open joints and fix the flashing and caps that let the water in, matching the stone and joint style you already have.
- Stones loose, tilted or missing
- Open or crumbling joints between stones
- Veneer pieces cracked or pulling away
- Water stains below the stone face
What Sets the Price
