Tuck Pointing
Tuck pointing becomes necessary when mortar develops cracks and holes. These can come from various causes, including the burrowing of bees and the entrance of water into hairline cracks, which during the winter can freeze and expand, widening the holes.
Temporary repairs are the common solution to a failing a part chimney, but a better choice is chimney rebuilding. Many homeowners tend to neglect their chimneys; so when problems become apparent, it's often too late for simple repairs. The best option then is tearing down and rebuilding the chimney. Mortar crumbling, infiltration by water, exposure to the elements, frequent use, time, and lack of preventative maintenance will make a chimney vulnerable, calling for major repairs if not a complete chimney rebuilding. Repeated and/or improper chimney repairs and chimney rebuilds are also major causes of chimney rebuilds. A chimney's lifetime depends on climate, usage, construction, and maintenance..

CHIMNEY CAPS - Waterproofing
The best way to prevent moisture from rain, animals, leaves, and other debris from entering your chimney is to install a chimney cap.
Dryer Vent Cleaning & Repairs
Since your dryer has to blow exhaust air out through the ducts, the shorter the ductwork the better. The total recommended length is normally less than 25 feet from the back of your dryer to the outside vent cover -- that's with a straight running exhaust duct. If you have bends and turns, it should be an even shorted distance. The more turns and the further the distance, the harder your dryer must work to move exhaust air and loose lint -- and the harder your dryer works and the longer it runs, the sooner it will wear out and have to be replaced or repaired. If your dryer has clogged vents and ducts, there are usually a few signs you'll see:
Loads of clothing will take longer to dry;
-
clothing will be very hot and still damp when dryer finishes (heavy items especially, like towels);
-
the dryer itself will feel hotter;
-
there may be NO lint on the lint screen (ie, the exhaust system is clogged)
Fireplace Repairs - Dampers
Dampers should always be closed when the fire is out and opened when a fire is burning. If they are left open when the fire is out, the warm air from the house escapes up the chimney, thus wasting energy. Doors can be left open in order to allow more heat to enter the house, but the damper should remain open, or smoke will enter the house.
