How to Make Common Chimney Repairs | Ask This Old House

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 11:33:20 -0700

In this video, This Old House mason Mark McCullough shows host Kevin O’Connor some common issues with brick chimneys and how to repair them.

SUBSCRIBE to This Old House: http://bit.ly/SubscribeThisOldHouse.

At a job site, mason Mark McCullough talks about chimney repairs. Mark shows Kevin O'Connor what to look for when planning out a repair before the pair roll up their sleeves and get to work.

Difficulty: ⅗
Time: One day
Cost: Around $100

Where to find it?
Mark & Kevin discuss common chimney problems and arm homeowners with the information they need to hire a licensed professional to carry out the repairs, including safety protocols.

They then work together to repoint the chimney, by first grinding down the mortar joints. To do this, they use a grinder [https://amzn.to/3Dg9UHT] with a vacuum attachment and hand chisel and wear the proper safety equipment, including safety glasses [https://amzn.to/3SbfSxP] and earplugs [https://amzn.to/3VCcQp9]. They remove excess dust with a damp masonry brush [https://amzn.to/3S9gRi4], then use type-N mortar [https://thd.co/3EOsYhm] to fill the joints. For this process, they mix the type-N mortar to an oatmeal consistency, then use a finishing trowel and margin trowel [https://amzn.to/3s5PsTw] to apply the mortar to the chimney.

Based on the age of the chimney he repointed (over 100 years old), after the mortar cures (cure times vary, check the label on the mortar), Mark will apply a waterproofing agent [https://thd.co/3s4h7nP] to the chimney. Mark suggests first cleaning the chimney exterior with a masonry detergent [https://amzn.to/3CKYlGO], then using a waterproofing agent by applying one coat to the chimney with a spray attachment [https://amzn.to/3CESrXX]. To apply the waterproofing agent, work your way side-to-side, beginning at the bottom of the chimney, then moving up the chimney to the top.

All products can be found at a local home center.

Gas fireplace repair - WON'T Work, Start or Light - piezo ignitor spark igniter

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 11:33:20 -0700

Replacement piezo sparker→ http://amzn.to/2e03wZ3
As always shut off the gas before you do any repairs and if you smell gas, let it clear first. If you can not see a spark when pushing the ignitor, first clean the metal surfaces of the thermopile, thermocouple, igniter, and pilot. A light sanding with sandpaper, wire brush, or steel wool works great to remove the soot. If your piezo ignitor (also spelled 'Igniter') is broken they are a cheap and easy replacement so don't worry too much about it. I think Home Depot and Lowe's sell them. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Let me know how your repair goes!
