Chimney waterproofing explained for Colonial Town Center homeowners
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Colonial Town Center.
Flashing is not a waterproofing job
Where the chimney meets the roof, metal flashing keeps water out of the joint between them. If that flashing is loose, rusted or pulled away, rain gets in at the roof line no matter how well the brick above is treated.
Our inspection looks at the flashing on every waterproofing visit. Any problem goes on the estimate as a separate flashing repair. We do not spray repellent over failed flashing and call it sealed, because the water would still be coming in at exactly the same place.
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.
Why chimneys take more weather than walls
A chimney has no roof over it and no eaves beside it. Masonry guidance names chimneys and parapets as elements subject to premature deterioration because of severe exposure, often to wind-driven rain and runoff from the top.
That is why a chimney may need attention when the walls of the same house are fine. It is also why the chimney is one of the places where a clear repellent can sometimes reduce water-related problems. We look at the exposure of each face during the inspection and treat where the evidence supports it.
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.
