How to Patch a Chimney - EASY!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- If you're having issues with your chimney and need to patch it yourself, this is how you do it! This vinyl concrete is extremely easy to use and is designed not to crack. Quikretes manufacturing instructions outline exactly how to use this product and is a big part of what my video goes off of.
This specific chimney is made out of cinder blocks and was cased with some sort of concrete. There have been multiple patch jobs on this it appears as I can see some fiberglass strands in the surface concrete here. This same type of patch that I'm using will work with any type of brick and concrete chimney.
The steps are as follows:
1) remove any loose pieces
2) use a wire brush to further remove debris and moss
3) use a soft brush to clear the dust and dirt
4) mix the mortar
5) spray water in areas you are about to apply vinyl concrete to
6) apply concrete and let sit for 15-30 minutes
7) use a float to smooth out the concrete
6) keep the concrete wet for a few hours if possible to prevent cracking and improve bonding.
If you have any questions or if you're a professional mason, drop down a comment below and either I'll help you out, or you can help me and the other viewers out.

Thanks for the tips. I need to do this and your video is a huge help!
Someone is always a critic but this is a much better option than $4k. That price is ridiculous.
That definitely should be rebuilt. There's likely internal deterioration as well.
Thank you for sharing 👌🙏
That is pretty cool. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for the info I have a similar problem
Thank you. I too got a quote for $4 K. Very good video.
Thank u so much positive energy I'm doing this soon
Nice work ...
I will probably need this at the top if I decide to do it myself but I think for the stucco down the front of the chimney it will need different material thank you for your video because I know it’s hard to do the work then move the camera and fuss w the camera it’s annoying but you did it for the people.
This is exactly the type of video I needed. Thank you so much for your knowledge. You earned my subscription. Look forward to more videos. Hope my support helps or channel and your family
good stuff mon.... am going to do mines weekend
My chimney leaked a little bit into my garage last night here in NY with that bad rain. I was going to hire someone to do the same thing but I think I’ll attempt this.
This was eight months ago I’m sure you’ve been planning for a good whether it has been so windy here February March April oh it’s just off anon wild weird weather and hail so have you got a chance to do it which product to use can you put exactly what you used. Blessed be. From beautiful Minneapolis
Thank you for this. I got a decent quote, but the guy disappeared. I can't find a mason to do the job. I guess I'll do it myself, thanks to your tutorial.
I am a contractor not masonry Overall good job anything is better than it was May be worth waterproofing also. Good work
thank you I like building skills
You def earned my subscription. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing 🙌🏵🌼🌹🌻🌺
I have a leak still after the roof was redone and flashing, I think its the chimney I need to go on the roof and do this. Thanks. Fingers crossed it is my problem.
What do you think about putting a wire mess up first for a mortor bed?
Does anyone wrap the chimney in reinforcing wire or chicken wire to add strength and hold the mortar on better?
$4k .... CRAZY PRICE.....thank you so much ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So I need to do some repair to my chimney on the inside. I need to put mortar, does it have dangerous fumes ?
I'm curious if you have updates for how this turned out. You didn't do anything with the flashing at the roof, is that because the original flashing was ok? And did you put any kind of sealer on this afterward? Thanks for making this video! I'm trying to learn about chimneys as we buy a house that is going to need work done on the crown.
Me too.
You too, UA-cam!! Haha nice
I have a rental I'm getting ready to put to market and the chimney needs work. Masons said thousands of dollars to rebuild from roof line. Needless to say I'm the proud owner of some vinyl cement and mortor now and going to see how well this works. Any updates?
How did it work out 6 months later?
Did it crack cause it looked so thin
Anybody know why he used "vinyl' patch vs straight mortar. I have the same chimney issues. Thx!
It sounds more like a personal decision, possibly because he was only parging a small area. I’ve parged a bunch of chimney and used basic Type S mortar that works great. There’s also likely a decent price difference with Type S mortar being about as cheap as mortar gets and still provides a great finished product. The import part as he mentioned is the finish. Once the mortar sets enough where you can put a wet sponge to it and wipe on it with a circular motion without the mortar moving you can begging the finishing touches. You want to use the tool he had or a wet sponge and lightly, with a circular motion, smooth out the entirety of the new mortar on the chimney. You are looking for a rough finished looks where there dried mortar is begging to fall away in small bits (almost a dust) and then you are good. Do not put the finish on it Too early
I'm guessing vinyl would be less likely to crack than straight mortar?
I'm thinking for flexibility. In that environment, I'm guessing there's a lot of freeze/thaw cycles and the vinyl will allow flexibility. Heard somewhere is called type N. Not a mason, just my thoughts!
Question: As the fire burns (in the fireplace?), the chimney will expand and contract. Did any cracks form in the Quikrete surface over time?
I am about to restore my hundred-year-old chimney that has been painted, tarred, and gooped. All those coatings have allowed the mortar to rot and turn to sand on the North side especially.
This cement is meant for this type of environment and has not cracked on me. One thing I ended up doing was putting Thompsons water seal on it with a spray jug. This will prevent moisture from getting in, freezing, and potentially cracking it.
@@KellyConcepts Thank you!!
Where are the links
Can you paint this afterwards ? And if so does it have to be a special paint ?
I would prime and use an elastomeric masonry paint. Behr is ok. About$33/ gallon
I would use oil base stain
Come on Sawguy, lighten up, this guy provided a great self-fix tutorial . Those of us who live in rural America woods know there is no damage or risk to flora or fauna of small amounts of waste material dispersement in our surrounding brush/tall grass/whatever
I appreciate your video and work effort, but this is just a bandaid on a stich wound. It seems to me that all chimney crowns should have a custom fit stainless steel box cover with holes cut out for flues and fasten in place, and a high temp flexible caulk sealer around perimeter of flues.
Did you really just throw parts of the chimney into the trees? LOL! Nice improvement of chimney!
I felt the rocks should be with their families in the woods. Therell be some major landscaping here in the spring so I'll clean it then 😆
Nature with nature
I just received a quote for $9,000. 😔
it's still brutal out there on quotes right now.
He could have placed a tarp on the roof to protect the roof shingles!!
You get what you pay for. Hopefully it works out for you.
Wow 😂
You should’ve caught it first and then cemented to your clock the clock would’ve been your expansion joint with the cement
Could you go into detail more I’m looking to do something like this I’m not sure what you meant by caught it first and I don’t know exactly what you mean by cemented to your clock ⏰
He saying he should’ve “caulked” it first and cemented to the caulk- not clock
What about a ladder a bucket and some 🍺
Yeah absolutely I’m gonna need a bucket with a few beers in there after a little while.
Flashing looks like crud
My bet is that 50% of the new patchwork has busted open and some parts of it are falling off now.
I tried to hit the 'like' button but somehow it got smashed and doesn't work anymore. Sorry...
I'm a roofer, about to do one for $2200
Chim-a-nee flute?
As a mason I can promise you this is not a good idea
Since you're a professional I'm curious why you think this is not a good idea.
Great idea for a temporary fix, but going over the existing material that cracked before, it will only crack up again. Need to strip crown off completely, add reinforced wire, form a box and mix and pour new cement. The chimney bricks leading up to the crown should have never had any cement over them. If brick mortar is weak, grind it out and spread new.
Good job it doesn't look nice but its waterproof that's the most important thing these trades and their quotes are ridiculous you think thay where rebuilding the chimney for that price materials are relatively cheap its their labour that's the pricey bit if you can do it yourself always do it at least you know its done right who cares about pretty id rather functional over pretty any day
Great video, but seriously... set a better example in terms of waste disposal. It wouldn't be difficult to put the debris in a bucket and take it down with you. Instead, you chose to toss it into the trees.
I only threw the concrete (rock and sand) back into nature with its family! Lol.
Our chimney stucco on the exterior and bricks 🧱 on the interior probably what you have.
What I see is that it was repaired at the top portion it was poorly smoothed over and then along the side basically the edge of the chimney is a crack and I want to FILL that in, keep water out.
I have a quote for $7000 and I have a quote for $11,000 to do this even though I told him I only wanted a quarter top part done and yeah they are way too much.
