The Details Behind Lasting Chimney Waterproofing
Brick, joints and chimney top are checked before any plan is written.
Cracks a repellent cannot bridge
Brick Industry Association guidance is direct about this. Penetrating repellents seldom stop water through cracks more than 0.02 inch, or half a millimeter, wide. Anything wider stays a path for rain after treatment.
So the cracks get dealt with first. Our pros find them on the brick faces and along the joints, repair them with materials that suit the masonry, and only then plan the treatment. You see that repair as its own line in the written estimate for your Bloomingdale home.
A water repellent goes on dry masonry only
Damp masonry and water repellents do not mix. National Park Service guidance says a water-repellent coating should never be applied to a damp wall. Moisture in the masonry stops the product from soaking in, and whatever does bond can hold that moisture inside.
Our specialists check the brick before treatment, and after heavy rain we let the chimney dry rather than push the schedule. It can mean moving a date in Bloomingdale. It also means the treatment you pay for does the job it is meant to do.
A shiny chimney is a warning sign
A breathable repellent should leave brick looking natural once it dries. The Brick Industry Association notes that an unwanted gloss or sheen can point to a poorly chosen product or an improper application.
If you already see a glossy film on your chimney, our specialists check what it is before anything else goes on. If you are planning a treatment, ask to see the test area dry. Our pros aim for brick that looks like brick.
What you have when the job is finished
When the chimney is treated, you should know exactly what was done. Our pros go over the repairs made, the product applied, the surfaces covered and any drying time or rain limits for the first days.
Keep that record with your home papers. It helps any future repair, and it tells the next person whether a new product will be compatible. The treatment is covered by our workmanship warranty, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee applies as well.

Decide within 72 hours of your inspection and the treatment is 10% off.
