Repairs, Preparation and Chimney Waterproofing
Local waterproofing pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every chimney we treat.
New brick and rebuilt sections wait before treatment
When part of a chimney has just been rebuilt, the new masonry is still giving off construction moisture. Treating it too soon traps that water. One common repellent label asks for at least 28 days of cure on new masonry and concrete before application.
If your chimney in Valrico has had recent rebuilding, our pros schedule the waterproofing for after that cure period and tell you the date plainly. The repair and the treatment appear as separate lines in your estimate, each with an upfront price.
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 Valrico once it has dried.
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 Valrico, our specialists stay with breathable penetrants and show you the product and its data sheet before we begin.
A sided chase is not a masonry chimney
Some chimneys are wood-framed boxes finished in siding or stucco, with metal chimney pipe inside. A masonry repellent is not the answer for those. Water usually gets in at the metal chase cover on top or through the siding joints.
Our pros tell you which kind of chimney you have on the first visit. If it is a framed chase, we look at the cover, the storm collar and the siding and quote those repairs instead of a masonry treatment.
