If your home or property is constructed from stone or brick and it was built more than 70 years old, you'll probably notice that the mortar between the joints is not as stable as it used to be. Flaking, crumbling and long cracks in the mortar or brick are all indications that the structural integrity of the original mortar may be compromised. At the least, the aesthetic quality of the mortar should be reason enough to consider re-pointing. Your best defense for extreme weather is to make sure your chimney flashing is solid and secure.
