Getting chimney sealing right on Windermere homes
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Windermere.
How the repellent cures on the chimney
Many masonry repellents are not fully working the moment they are sprayed. The ChimneySaver water-base product, for example, reacts with the minerals in the masonry in the presence of sunlight and moisture in the air to form bonds beneath the surface.
Its data sheet gives a drying time of about two to six hours depending on temperature and humidity. We plan the job so the treated faces have that time without rain, and we explain that water may not bead fully until the product has had time to react. Checking the result too early can give the wrong impression.
Flooding the masonry from the bottom up
The ChimneySaver water-base data sheet describes the vertical application: agitate the product, then apply from the bottom up with a low-pressure sprayer at 10 to 25 psi or a roller, flooding the surface until excess runs down six to eight inches below the spray pattern.
Working upward lets the rundown pre-wet the masonry below the spray, so no band is starved of product. Our crew follows that method face by face. It looks simple from the ground, but steady pressure, a consistent wet edge and patience at each course are what give an even result.
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.
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.

Before your waterproofing job in Windermere
Our family-owned team in Windermere answers the questions that come up on sealing jobs.
Can you do the work if it rained yesterday?
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.
What if you find damage while preparing the chimney?
We stop and show you. Cleaning can uncover soft joints or cracked brick that were hidden under dirt or growth. We explain the options and their prices, and nothing extra is done without your approval.
