What goes into a waterproofing job in Rosemont
Two parts of the job our chimney specialists explain to homeowners in Rosemont before any product is applied.
Where a silane product fits
Silanes are smaller molecules than siloxanes, so they can penetrate dense surfaces well. They react fastest on alkaline materials such as concrete and concrete block, and products meant for brick often add a catalyst to help them cure on the less alkaline clay.
On a concrete block chimney or a dense cast top section, a silane or a pre-blended silane and siloxane product may be the better match. We read the maker's substrate list before choosing and never mix products on site. A pre-blended product keeps the proportions the manufacturer tested.
Slippery surfaces during the work
A treated surface sheds water, and product that settles on ladders, walk boards or scaffolding can leave them slick. Repellent makers print that caution on their product sheets for anyone doing the work.
It is one of the reasons we do not recommend homeowners take on chimney waterproofing from a ladder. Our crew sets up roof access for the job, keeps product off the equipment we stand on and wipes it down as needed. You stay on the ground, and the treatment still reaches every face that needs it.
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.
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.

What people in Rosemont ask about chimney sealing
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Rosemont is free.
Does waterproofing include the crown and flashing?
No, those are separate repairs. A repellent treats the brick, mortar or stucco faces. If the crown is cracked or the flashing has pulled away, we write that up on its own line so you can see what each item costs and what it fixes.
Does the 72-hour 10% discount apply to waterproofing?
Yes. Any service booked within 72 hours after your free inspection is 10% off, and chimney waterproofing qualifies, including any repairs on the same estimate. Mention it when you book and we will show the savings in writing.
