Waterproofing know-how from our Westyn Bay crew
Two parts of the job our chimney specialists explain to homeowners in Westyn Bay before any product is applied.
Why cracks get repaired before any repellent
The Brick Industry Association's guidance on colorless coatings says a penetrating repellent rarely holds back water at a crack wider than about 0.02 inch. That is roughly the thickness of a few sheets of paper, so many cracks you can see from a ladder are already past what a clear coat can handle.
Our pros mark each crack during the inspection and decide how it should be repaired, whether that means new mortar, a replaced brick or crown work. The repellent goes on only after those repairs, so it is treating sound masonry instead of being asked to bridge gaps it was never made for.
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.
Replacing damaged brick first
Brick with spalled faces or cracks running through the face cannot be sealed back into shape. Masonry guidance lists removing and replacing those units among the repairs to complete before any repellent is applied.
Our pros mark every damaged brick during the inspection. Replacement brick is matched as closely as we can in size and color, set in fresh mortar and given time to cure. Only then does the chimney get its treatment, so the repellent is protecting sound masonry instead of covering a broken face.
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.

What people in Westyn Bay ask about chimney sealing
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Westyn Bay is free.
Is the chimney waterproofing inspection really free in Westyn Bay?
Yes. There is no charge to inspect the chimney at your Westyn Bay home and no obligation to book. You get a clear explanation and a written estimate for any work we recommend.
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.
