Chimney Waterproofing Done in the Right Order
Local waterproofing pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every chimney we treat.
A test patch before the whole chimney
Brick varies, and so does the way it takes a repellent. The Brick Industry Association recommends trying the product on a test area of at least 10 square feet, and repellent labels ask for a small test before general application.
Our pros pick a spot that represents the chimney, treat it and let it dry fully before you look at it with us. If the color or texture changes in a way you do not like, we talk through another product before the rest of your chimney in Town 'n' Country is touched.
Cleaning the brick without damaging it
Heavy dirt on the wall interferes with how a coating penetrates, as the Brick Industry Association notes, and repellent labels ask for surfaces free of dirt, dust, stains and efflorescence. Clean brick takes the product evenly.
Cleaning has to be gentle, though. Harsh blasting can strip the hard outer face of brick and open it to more water. Our pros choose a cleaning method that suits your chimney and let the masonry dry before any treatment goes on.
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.
Damp inside by the fireplace has several possible causes
A damp patch indoors is not always rain soaking through the brick. National Park Service guidance notes that water in masonry most often comes from roofs, gutters, missing mortar and cracks, and that a repellent will not cure condensation or moisture rising from below.
Our pros look at the whole picture, inside and out, before recommending anything for your chimney in Town 'n' Country. If the source is somewhere a repellent cannot reach, we tell you, and we point you to the repair that will actually stop it.
