Chimney Waterproofing

Waterproofing protects your chimney from moisture damage.

Overview

Chimney waterproofing involves applying a protective sealant that prevents water penetration, which is a common cause of chimney damage.

Our waterproofing treatment is breathable, allowing moisture to escape without letting water in, preserving the brickwork and mortar.

Regular waterproofing can extend the life of your chimney by preventing costly water-related damage.

  1. Cracks forming on the chimney exterior.
  2. Efflorescence, or white staining, on bricks.
  3. Leaky interior walls near the chimney.
  4. It’s been years since the chimney was last treated.

What happens on the visit

  1. Clean the chimney surface to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Inspect the chimney for existing damage that needs repair.
  3. Apply a high-quality waterproofing agent to the entire structure.
  4. Conduct a final inspection to ensure complete coverage.
