The face that takes the rain

Does one face of the chimney look darker and damper after a storm than the others? That's the face taking the wind-driven rain, and it may be the one face that needs a repellent.

Absorption tests on each face show which ones need treating, and treating only those keeps the cost down. Our pros also check the joints on the weather side, since recessed mortar there lets in more water than the brick does. You'll see the faces to be treated marked on the quote. Talk to our waterproofing specialists about the weather side in Brooker at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

The face that takes the storms

On a chimney in Brooker, one face takes most of the wind-driven rain in a storm, while the others stay much drier. That face absorbs the most and wears a repellent first. Our pros test each face and may recommend treating only the weather face, which saves money and keeps the sheltered faces breathing freely. The faces treated are marked on the quote, so the next check knows where to look.

Our Process

Repairs, a test patch, then the repellent

Close the gaps

Crown, cap, flashing and joints are repaired first, since a repellent can't seal them.
Test the brick

Absorption is measured on each face and a test patch is checked with you.
Mask and apply

Glass and trim are masked, and the repellent goes on bottom up on dry brick.
Record and recheck

You get the product, faces and date written out, and we check beading on later visits.

Surfaces a repellent can't help

Paint, glaze or an earlier sealer can change how a proposed treatment interacts with brick. The surface needs identifying before product selection; a repellent intended for bare porous masonry cannot simply be assumed suitable for a coated wall.

Tell us about previous painting or sealing if you know when it was done. Existing finishes and the condition of the joints can change the recommendation. The estimate should explain the work proposed for that surface and any testing needed, rather than treating a new coating as the answer to every leak.

Some chimneys don't need waterproofing

According to the Brick Industry Association, a water repellent isn't necessary for brickwork that was properly chosen, detailed, built and maintained, under normal exposure. It also notes that the first round of repairs can solve moisture problems on its own.

Our pros take that seriously. If the crown, cap, flashing and joints are sound and the brick's absorption tests low, they'll recommend skipping the repellent and checking again in a year. You save the cost, and the chimney stays as breathable as it was built to be. If the brick tests high, you'll see the numbers that support treating it. That test result is written on your quote.

Why waterproofing fails, and how it doesn't

Repellents fail for a handful of reasons: they went on over open cracks, on damp brick, before fresh mortar cured, right before rain, too thin in places, or over an old film sealer they couldn't bond through.

Our specialists guard against each one: repairs first, cure times respected, a dry wall and a dry forecast, even application from the bottom up, and a check for old coatings. That's why the application comes under our workmanship warranty. If a face wasn't treated right, call and we'll come back to look. The warranty terms are written on the quote, along with the product and the date.

FAQs

Repellents and sealers, answered

Why not use a clear sealer from the store?

Many are film-forming sealers that slow the brick's drying and trap water and salts. Our specialists use breathable, penetrating repellents made for chimney masonry instead.

How soon after repointing can you waterproof?

At least 72 hours after repointing, per the Brick Industry Association and the repellent maker, and longer for new masonry. Our pros write the date on your quote.
