Waterproofing know-how from our Alafaya crew
The points below shape the treatment we recommend in Alafaya, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
The repairs that come before waterproofing
Masonry guidance lists the repairs a repellent should never replace: repointing cracked or incompletely filled mortar joints, replacing brick with spalled faces or cracks through the face shell, replacing failed sealant where masonry meets other materials, and fixing damaged or missing flashing.
On a chimney, we add the crown and the cap to that list. Each item we find goes on your written estimate as a separate line with its own price. You can see exactly what the waterproofing step costs and what the repairs cost, and choose knowing which work stops which water.
Replacing damaged brick first
Brick with spalled faces or cracks running through the face cannot be sealed back into shape. Masonry guidance lists removing and replacing those units among the repairs to complete before any repellent is applied.
Our pros mark every damaged brick during the inspection. Replacement brick is matched as closely as we can in size and color, set in fresh mortar and given time to cure. Only then does the chimney get its treatment, so the repellent is protecting sound masonry instead of covering a broken face.
Booking an inspection soon
Same-day service is available when our schedule allows, which is handy when a storm has left you worried about the chimney. Call, describe what you are seeing and we will offer the first available time for a free inspection.
The treatment itself is scheduled around the weather and any cure times, so it may be a later date. The inspection answers the urgent question first: is water getting in through the masonry, or through something that needs a quicker repair? Either way, you know where you stand.
Full-height exterior chimneys
Some chimneys run from the ground to above the roof on the outside wall of the house. That is a lot of masonry in the weather, with the most exposed part high up and the lower sections sometimes sheltered by the eaves.
We treat those chimneys by section. The upper masonry usually needs the most attention, the lower courses may need less and the base may sit behind plantings that need protection. The estimate lists each section, the access needed and what is being treated, so the price reflects the real job.

Chimney waterproofing questions from Alafaya

How soon can your team come out to Alafaya?
Same-day service is available when our schedule allows. Call early, describe what you see and we will offer the first available time for a free inspection. The treatment itself is booked around the weather and any cure times.
Will the spray end up on my roof?
It should not. Makers of chimney repellents warn against overspray and run-down on asphalt roofing, and that is usually what surrounds the chimney. We cover the roofing before the first pass, watch the lowest courses for run-down and check the roof, not only the chimney, before we leave.
