Sealing Chimney Brick So It Can Still Breathe
Waterproofing starts with a free inspection and ends with a written record of the product used.
Water repellents and waterproof coatings are different products
The National Park Service draws a clear line between the two. A water repellent keeps liquid water out while letting water vapor pass through the masonry. A waterproof coating seals the surface against both, and that group includes bituminous coatings and some elastomeric paints.
On a chimney, sealing in vapor is a problem, because any moisture that does get into the brick has nowhere to go. That is why our specialists use breathable repellents on chimney faces. When a product is sold simply as a sealer, we read its label before it goes anywhere near your home.
More product is not better protection
It is tempting to think a heavier coat protects more. The Brick Industry Association warns that over-application can reduce the breathability of the brickwork, and one repellent label notes that too much material may darken the surface.
Our specialists apply the product at the coverage rate its maker sets and no heavier. You end up with brick that sheds rain, still breathes and looks the way it did before treatment. That restraint is part of doing chimney waterproofing properly.
Why our pros lean on siloxane-based repellents
For exterior brick, the Brick Industry Association recommends siloxanes. They bond with the silica in brick and mortar, repel liquid water well and still let vapor through. Silanes are close relatives and are used in some blends.
Film-forming products such as acrylics can look glossy and shed water, but BIA discourages them on exterior brick because they hold moisture in. On chimneys in South Tampa, our specialists stay with breathable penetrants and show you the product and its data sheet before we begin.
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.
