Waterproofing know-how from our Corner Lake crew
What our pros check and why, on waterproofing jobs across Corner Lake.
Natural stone on the chimney
Natural stone varies more than brick. Some stone is dense and takes little water, some is soft and porous, and the joints around it are often the weak point. Repellent makers list the stones their products suit, and results can differ from one stone to another.
On a stone chimney, we check the joints first, test a small area and follow the product maker's instructions for that stone. If the stone is a thin manufactured veneer, we look at its maker's guidance too, since some veneers have their own rules for coatings.
Plants, pools and patios below the chimney
Coating chemicals can harm vegetation, and masonry guidance lists protecting nearby plants among the steps before any application. An exterior chimney that runs down the side of the house often has beds, shrubs or a patio at its base.
We cover plantings and hard surfaces under the work area and keep product away from pool water and outdoor furniture. If there is something at the base of your chimney you particularly care about, tell us at the inspection. We will plan the setup around it and note it on your estimate.
Treatments stay on the outside
Exterior masonry repellents are made for the outside of above-grade masonry. One widely sold chimney repellent, ChimneySaver water-base, is labeled as not intended for interior use or for resisting water under pressure.
So we do not spray anything inside the firebox, the smoke chamber or the flue. If water is reaching the inside of the chimney, the cause is somewhere we can repair, such as the cap, the crown, the flashing or an open joint, and that repair is what goes on your estimate.

What people in Corner Lake ask about chimney sealing
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Corner Lake is free.
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.
Our chimney is new. Does it need a repellent?
Usually not. Masonry guidance does not recommend repellents on newly built brick veneer, and well-built brickwork handles water on its own. A new chimney that takes water points to the crown, the flashing or joints that were not filled, and those get checked first.
