Waterproofing Your Chimney in Mango
Family owned and locally run, we treat chimneys in Mango only when the masonry is ready.
What a chimney water repellent actually does
A penetrating water repellent soaks into the pores of brick and mortar and changes how they take in water. Rain beads on the treated face and runs off instead of wicking in. The Brick Industry Association notes that these products are most effective at reducing how much water the masonry absorbs.
That is a real benefit on a chimney, because less water in the brick means less wear on the joints. It is also the limit of the job. A repellent reduces absorption through sound masonry. Our pros explain that clearly before you decide, so you know what the treatment on your Mango chimney is there to do.
White deposits mean water is moving through the brick
The white bloom called efflorescence forms when water dissolves soluble salts in the masonry, carries them to the surface and evaporates. The Brick Industry Association points out that when it appears on older brickwork, excess water getting in is generally the cause.
BIA guidance also says coatings are not the sole cure and that walls with a history of efflorescence should be treated only after the moisture source is fixed. Our team finds that source first, then cleans and treats the chimney in Mango once it has dried.
Why the product has to breathe
Brick always holds some soluble salts from its mortar and its surroundings. When a coating stops vapor from leaving, those salts can collect and crystallize just behind the treated layer. The Brick Industry Association explains that the crystals grow and can spall the brick face.
For that reason BIA recommends breathable coatings, with a water vapor permeability of 0.98 perm or higher when tested to ASTM E96. Our pros use products that meet that kind of standard on chimney faces, so moisture inside can still dry out.
Where the chimney meets the roof
The joint between the chimney and the roof is sealed with layered metal flashing. When that metal fails, water runs down inside the roof and never touches the brick face. Treating the chimney face cannot fix that path.
Brick Industry Association guidance lists repairing damaged or missing flashing among the jobs that should come before any water repellent. Our specialists check the roof line on the same free visit and tell you if it is part of the problem at your Mango home.
