Chimney Waterproofing

Waterproofing solutions to protect your chimney from moisture damage.

Overview

Moisture is one of the biggest threats to your chimney's integrity. Waterproofing provides a protective barrier that prevents water from seeping into brick and mortar, reducing the risk of leaks and damage.

Our waterproofing service applies a high-quality sealant to your chimney, effectively repelling water while allowing the structure to breathe. This helps prevent mildew, efflorescence, and freeze-thaw damage.

For homes in Bloomfield and surrounding communities, we offer comprehensive waterproofing to prolong the life of your chimney and maintain its function and appearance.

Signs you may need it

  1. Water stains on the chimney exterior.
  2. Mildew or mold growth on or around the chimney.
  3. Flaking or spalling bricks.
  4. Efflorescence, a white powdery residue on the bricks.

What happens on the visit

  1. Thorough cleaning of the chimney surface to remove dirt and debris.
  2. Inspection to identify any existing moisture or damage.
  3. Application of a breathable, water-repellent sealant.
  4. Final inspection to ensure even coverage and effectiveness.
