How we handle chimney waterproofing in Mount Plymouth Lakes
Two parts of the job our chimney specialists explain to homeowners in Mount Plymouth Lakes before any product is applied.
The crown is its own repair
The crown is the sloped slab at the chimney top around the flue. The Florida Building Code, Residential, in section R1003.9.1, wants the top of a masonry chimney pitched so water runs off, with a drip edge at its rim. A repellent sprayed on the brick below does not change any of that.
If the crown is cracked, flat or missing its drip edge, water runs off it and down the chimney faces. We write crown repair on its own line so you can see it clearly. Fixing the crown and then treating the brick below makes more sense than asking a repellent to keep up with runoff it cannot stop.
Letting repairs prove themselves first
Masonry guidance suggests something many homeowners never hear: after the repairs are done, it can be worth waiting a few months to see whether a repellent is still needed, because moisture problems are often corrected by the repairs themselves.
We offer that option when the repairs are substantial. If the chimney stays dry after new joints, a sound crown and good flashing, you may not need the treatment at all. If absorption is still a problem, we come back and apply it. Either way, you are not paying for work the chimney did not need.
Using the 72-hour offer on waterproofing
Any service booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off, and chimney waterproofing qualifies. When the job includes repairs such as repointing or brick replacement, we show how the offer applies on the written estimate so there is no confusion at the end.
Mention the offer when you book the free inspection. There is no deadline talk and no pressure. It is our thank-you for booking the work while the inspection findings are fresh.
Why we are careful with pressure washing
Pressure that is too high can damage brick faces and soft mortar, which is why masonry cleaning guidance sets limits on it. Washing also leaves the chimney wetter than it looks, which delays any treatment.
Brick Industry Association Technical Note 20 says to use the mildest cleaning method that works, and it caps water pressure at 400 psi measured at the nozzle unless the brick's maker allows a higher figure. We match the method to your masonry. Once the surface is clean, we give it time to dry out fully before the repellent goes on.

What people in Mount Plymouth Lakes ask about chimney sealing
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Mount Plymouth Lakes is free.
Will waterproofing stop the water in my fireplace?
Only if the water is soaking through the chimney masonry. Water in the firebox often comes down an uncapped flue or through a cracked crown or failed flashing, and a repellent fixes none of those. Our inspection finds the path first, and the estimate names the repair that stops it.
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.
