Chimney Waterproofing From Local Specialists
Repairs first, then a breathable repellent, backed by our workmanship warranty.
When the chimney already carries a coating
A new repellent has to reach the brick to work. Brick Industry Association guidance notes that a penetrating coating usually will not work over an existing film-forming coating, and that an old coating may need removal or may have to wear off first.
If the history of your chimney is unknown, our pros look for the signs of an earlier product and test how the surface takes water. You get an honest read on what can be done now for your Fish Hawk home and what has to wait.
Rain straight down the flue is a cap problem
Water dripping into the firebox during a storm often falls straight down an uncovered flue. No treatment on the outside of the chimney will stop rain that enters from the top.
Our pros look at the chimney cap before recommending waterproofing. If the cap is missing, rusted through or the wrong size, replacing it is usually the first and most useful fix, and it is priced separately so you can see where your money goes.
How the treatment goes on
Chimney repellents are usually applied with a low-pressure sprayer or a roller, working from the bottom of the chimney up. One product label says to saturate the brick until the surplus runs down six to eight inches under the sprayed area, which tells the applicator the brick has taken its fill.
Our pros follow the label for the product chosen, keep the coverage even across brick and joints, and avoid runs onto the roof. When the chimney is done, we walk you through the drying time and what to expect after the first rain.
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.
