How we handle chimney waterproofing in Audubon Park
Two parts of the job our chimney specialists explain to homeowners in Audubon Park before any product is applied.
The cap keeps rain out of the flue
A chimney without a cap takes rain straight down the flue. That water ends up in the firebox, on the damper or in the smoke chamber, and it has nothing to do with the brick faces a repellent treats.
When water shows up inside the fireplace, we check the cap before anything else. A missing or damaged cap is written up as its own item. Waterproofing the outside of the chimney is worth doing only when the water problem is really absorption through the masonry.
Sealant where masonry meets other materials
Where masonry meets metal, wood or siding, a flexible sealant usually fills the joint. When that sealant cracks or pulls away, water runs straight into the gap. Masonry guidance lists replacing failed sealant among the repairs a repellent should not replace.
On a chimney, those joints can be around a cricket, at the counterflashing or where a chase meets brick. We check them during the inspection and replace failed sealant as a separate item. The masonry repellent then handles what it is made for, which is the water the brick and mortar absorb.
What the free inspection covers
Our free chimney inspection for waterproofing is a real look at the masonry, not a sales stop. We check the joints, brick faces, crown, flashing and cap, note any paint or coating, look inside the fireplace for water signs and listen to what you have noticed.
At the end, you get a clear explanation and a written estimate if work is needed. We charge nothing for the visit, and booking afterwards is up to you. If the chimney does not need waterproofing, you hear that from us plainly, along with anything else worth watching.
Why a chimney specialist should decide
Painters, pressure washers and handymen all sell sealing. What they may not look at is the crown, the flashing, the cap and the joints, which is where most chimney water actually gets in.
Our chimney specialists look at the whole chimney before recommending anything. That is the difference between a treatment that protects sound masonry and one that hides a problem for a season. The inspection is free, the advice is honest and work booked within 72 hours after it is 10% off.

Chimney waterproofing questions from Audubon Park
Short answers from our chimney team in Audubon Park. Call for anything not covered here.
Can you do the work if it rained yesterday?
Only once the masonry is visibly dry. Repellent makers call for a dry surface, a suitable temperature and no rain expected for several hours afterward. If the chimney is still wet or the forecast turns, we reschedule at no charge.
Can I use a clear sealer from the hardware store?
We would ask you to wait for our look first. A can on the shelf might be a breathable penetrant or a film former, and some are made for driveways or decks, not brick. A film sealer on a chimney is much harder to undo than to avoid, and our inspection costs nothing.
