What goes into a waterproofing job in Parramore
Before you approve a treatment in Parramore, these are worth knowing.
Protecting windows and glass nearby
Siloxane and silane repellents react with silica, and glass is mostly silica. Masonry guidance warns that both can bond with glass that is not properly protected, and that many coating chemicals can etch glass and damage paint.
Before we spray, our crew covers windows, skylights and glass doors within reach of the work, along with painted trim close to the chimney. If a drop of product lands where it should not, product makers direct cleaning it off right away with soap and water, and that is what we do. Your estimate lists this protection as part of the job.
Cleaning up overspray as we go
Makers of masonry repellents direct removing inadvertent overspray from non-target surfaces immediately with soap and water. Left to dry, product on glass, paint or metal can be much harder to take off.
Our crew keeps a bucket and cloths on the roof and at ground level during every application. We check windows, trim, gutters and flashing as each face is finished, not just at the end of the day. When we pack up, we walk the site with you and point out that everything nearby is clean.
Water-based and solvent-based repellents
Repellents come in two broad carriers. Solvent-borne products were once the standard for penetration, while water-borne versions have grown common because of their lower volatile organic content. The carrier affects what conditions the product can be applied in.
We choose between them by the masonry, the weather window and what the maker lists. The carrier and the product name both go on your estimate. If you have a preference, or someone in the household is sensitive to strong odors, tell us at the inspection so we can factor it in.
Why a chimney specialist should decide
Painters, pressure washers and handymen all sell sealing. What they may not look at is the crown, the flashing, the cap and the joints, which is where most chimney water actually gets in.
Our chimney specialists look at the whole chimney before recommending anything. That is the difference between a treatment that protects sound masonry and one that hides a problem for a season. The inspection is free, the advice is honest and work booked within 72 hours after it is 10% off.

Yes. There is no charge to inspect the chimney at your Parramore home and no obligation to book. You get a clear explanation and a written estimate for any work we recommend.

Only once the masonry is visibly dry. Repellent makers call for a dry surface, a suitable temperature and no rain expected for several hours afterward. If the chimney is still wet or the forecast turns, we reschedule at no charge.
