Waterproofing know-how from our Florida Center crew
What our pros check and why, on waterproofing jobs across Florida Center.
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.
Homes with more than one chimney
Two chimneys on the same house can be in very different shape. One may face the prevailing weather and show damp, while the other stays sound. One may have been repointed recently and the other not.
We inspect each chimney separately and write each one up on its own lines. You can choose to treat both, one or neither based on what we find. It is common sense, and it keeps you from paying to seal a chimney that is doing fine on its own.
A simple check after the treatment
Once the repellent has had time to cure, rain should bead and run off the treated faces rather than darkening them. After a few storms, look at the chimney from the yard. Treated faces usually dry noticeably faster than untreated masonry nearby.
If one area darkens and stays wet while the rest sheds water, call us. It may be a spot the treatment did not reach well, a joint that has opened or water coming from above. Our local team will come and look, and if the application was the problem, our workmanship warranty covers it.
What you have when the job is finished
At the end of a waterproofing job, you have a clean site, treated masonry and paperwork that explains it. That includes the product name and data sheet, the faces treated, the date and any repairs completed before treatment.
We walk you through what was done and what to watch for. If you have questions later, call the same local team. The record also makes future work easier, because anyone who touches the chimney afterward can see exactly what is in the masonry.

Chimney waterproofing questions from Florida Center
Answers from our specialists in Florida Center, with no sales pressure.
Do I need to be home during the treatment?
Not always. We need access to the roof and to the area around the base of the chimney. If you can be home at the start and for the walkthrough at the end, that is a good time to ask questions and see the result.
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.
