A test patch before the full coat

Worried about how a repellent will look on your brick? A test patch answers that. The Brick Industry Association suggests trying products on small test areas before treating a whole wall, and our pros follow that advice.

They apply the repellent to a patch on an out-of-the-way face, let it cure, and check two things with you: that water beads off it, and that the brick's color and texture look unchanged. Only then does the full coat go on. It adds a short wait, and it avoids surprises across the whole chimney. Reserve a test patch and waterproofing in Chiefland by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Sprinklers hitting the chimney base

If a lawn sprinkler in Chiefland sprays the base of the chimney, the lower brick stays wet for hours, and no repellent is meant to handle that every day. Our specialists suggest turning the spray away first. Once the base dries out, they test it and treat it if it's still absorbing too much, along with any joints the water has washed out.

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.

What a repellent can't do

A penetrating repellent lines pores; it doesn't fill gaps. Water running into a crack in the brick, a gap at the flashing or a recessed mortar joint goes straight past it, and the Brick Industry Association notes repellents seldom stop water entering through anything beyond very fine cracks.

That's why a repellent alone rarely fixes a leak. Our pros find and close the gaps with the right repair, whether that's repointing, crown work or new flashing, and use the repellent to cut down what the sound brick absorbs. Expecting the coating to do the repair's job is how money gets wasted.

How the repellent is applied

Wet and generous is how a penetrating repellent goes on. Makers such as SaverSystems describe a low-pressure flood coat applied from the bottom of the wall upward, so the brick takes in what it can and the excess runs down onto brick that's still being treated.

Working one face at a time, our pros follow the maker's instructions for the product used and watch for runs and missed spots. They don't mist it on with a high-pressure sprayer, which wastes product and drifts onto glass and plants. The result is an even coat that the brick absorbs fully. The number of coats goes on the 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

What if my chimney is painted?

A penetrating repellent can't soak through paint. Our specialists look at what's under the paint and may suggest a breathable masonry coating instead. Talk to us about your painted chimney in Chiefland at (352) 675-6366.

Does the warranty cover waterproofing?

It covers our application, and the quote records the product, the faces treated and the date. Repellents wear with time and sun, so our pros check the beading on later visits and tell you when a face needs another coat. Reserve a free absorption test in Chiefland at (352) 675-6366.
