Our approach to chimney waterproofing in Bryn Mawr
Practical points from our waterproofing crew in Bryn Mawr.
Letting new brickwork dry before treatment
Brand new masonry needs longer. One chimney repellent maker asks for a minimum of 28 days of cure on new masonry, and the Brick Industry Association suggests waiting at least a month after close-in on new brickwork, with a year preferred so construction moisture and early salt bloom can work out naturally.
If your chimney was rebuilt or extended recently, we will not rush a treatment onto it. We note the completion date, look at how the masonry is drying and set the waterproofing date around the product maker's instructions. A short wait now avoids trapping water inside brand new brick.
Concrete block chimneys and treatments
A chimney built of concrete block behaves differently from clay brick. Block is more alkaline and often more absorbent, and it takes a different amount of product per square foot. Repellent makers list block separately, and some sell products made for it.
The Brick Industry Association's guidance on colorless coatings applies to clay brick only, so on block we go by the chosen product's data for concrete masonry units. The inspection notes the material of every section, because some chimneys mix brick, block and stucco on different faces.
Slippery surfaces during the work
A treated surface sheds water, and product that settles on ladders, walk boards or scaffolding can leave them slick. Repellent makers print that caution on their product sheets for anyone doing the work.
It is one of the reasons we do not recommend homeowners take on chimney waterproofing from a ladder. Our crew sets up roof access for the job, keeps product off the equipment we stand on and wipes it down as needed. You stay on the ground, and the treatment still reaches every face that needs it.

Chimney waterproofing questions from Bryn Mawr
Short answers from our chimney team in Bryn Mawr. Call for anything not covered here.
How soon can your team come out to Bryn Mawr?
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 you test the product on my chimney first?
Yes. Brick and mortar vary, so product makers and masonry guidance recommend a test area, and the Brick Industry Association suggests at least ten square feet. We pick a face you can see, let the test cure and look at the finish and the way water behaves on it before treating anything else.
