Your chimney is more than a venting system—it is one of the most exposed and structurally important features of your home. Over time, Ohio’s weather patterns, temperature swings, and moisture can take a toll on brick, mortar, and crowns, leading to leaks, structural instability, and visible decay. At Level Up Masonry Restoration & Services, we specialize in restoring chimneys with craftsmanship that strengthens the structure and blends naturally with the original masonry. Based in Pataskala, OH, and serving Central Ohio, we provide chimney restoration that is done the right way—carefully, thoroughly, and built to last.

Why Chimney Restoration Matters

A chimney in poor condition is more than an appearance concern—it can allow water to infiltrate the home, weaken brick and stone, damage the flue system, and increase the risk of interior structural damage. When deterioration begins, it accelerates quickly in Ohio’s freeze-thaw climate.

Restoration protects:

  • Structural Stability
  • Safety
  • Home Value
  • Exterior Character and Curb Appeal

This is why restoration should be done right the first time—not patched, coated, or temporarily sealed.

Our Chimney Restoration Process

Tailored Structural Assessment

We examine the chimney’s condition from crown to base—evaluating brick integrity, mortar composition, moisture patterns, surrounding roof connections, and any hidden weaknesses.

Mortar and Material Matching

Our repairs blend in, not stand out. We match:

  • Mortar Color and Mineral Tone
  • Sand and Aggregate Blend
  • Joint Tooling and Finish
  • Brick or Stone Profile and Texture

Historically Correct Lime Mortar for Older Homes

Historic homes were built to breathe. Using modern cement mortars traps moisture and damages brick. We use lime mortar for homes that require it, preserving longevity and structural health.

Precision Restoration and Rebuild Services

Whether the chimney needs partial tear-out, selective brick replacement, or a full rebuild, we restore it with structural integrity and long-term durability—not shortcuts.

Common Chimney Problems We Repair

Cracked or Failing Chimney Crowns

Once the crown cracks, water enters. We repair or replace crowns to stop water intrusion at the source.

Deteriorated Mortar Joints

Open joints allow moisture to flow inside. Repointing stops further decay and restores structural bonding.

Spalled or Flaking Brick

When brick faces break apart, the chimney loses structural integrity. We integrate matching brick for seamless repair.

Leaning or Settling Chimneys

Shifting chimneys are dangerous. We rebuild and reinforce as necessary to maintain safety.

Water Intrusion and Leaking Chimneys

Not every leak is caused by the same failure. We diagnose the true source and solve it permanently—not temporarily.
