Chimney Waterproofing From Local Specialists
Local waterproofing pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every chimney we treat.
New brick and rebuilt sections wait before treatment
When part of a chimney has just been rebuilt, the new masonry is still giving off construction moisture. Treating it too soon traps that water. One common repellent label asks for at least 28 days of cure on new masonry and concrete before application.
If your chimney in Ballast Point has had recent rebuilding, our pros schedule the waterproofing for after that cure period and tell you the date plainly. The repair and the treatment appear as separate lines in your estimate, each with an upfront price.
The crown gets its own repair
The top of a masonry chimney takes more water than any brick face. For masonry chimneys, the residential volume of the Florida Building Code asks in section R1003.9.1 for a cap of concrete, metal or stone, edged with a drip and sealed to each flue liner by a caulked bond break.
A repellent on the vertical brick does nothing for a cracked or flat crown, and BIA notes that coatings cannot stop water that gets past an ineffective cap. Our pros check the crown on every waterproofing visit and price any crown repair as a separate line.
Wind-driven rain finds the weak joints
A chimney rises above the roof, where storms drive rain sideways into the masonry. The Brick Industry Association lists chimneys with the most exposed brickwork on a house, open to wind-driven rain and to runoff from the crown.
BIA also notes that a repellent is less effective against wind-driven rain than against simple absorption, because wind pushes water into cracks and open joints. That is why our pros make those joints sound before treating the brick on your chimney in Ballast Point.
The product label sets the rules
Each water repellent has a label and a technical data sheet that set the surfaces it suits, the preparation it needs, the weather it can go on in and how much to apply. Those rules differ from product to product.
Our specialists read that sheet against the chimney in front of them, and they share the product name with you before work begins. When the job is done, the product and the date go on your invoice, so the next person to work on the chimney knows what is on it.

The repellent and repairs come 10% off if booked within 72 hours of the visit.
