Local Conditions

Old sealers on inland chimneys

An old clear sealer on a chimney in East Bronson may be a film type that's trapping moisture. A penetrating repellent won't bond through it. Our pros check for old coatings before choosing a product, and they'll explain the options if a film is already on the brick, from letting it weather off to careful removal. Nothing new goes on until the old coating question is settled.

Our Process

Gaps closed before any repellent goes on

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.

Test areas before the whole chimney

Trying a repellent on test areas before treating a whole wall is what the Brick Industry Association recommends. On a chimney, that means a patch on a less visible face, left to cure and then checked.

Two results matter on the patch. Water should bead and roll off. The brick's color, sheen and texture should look unchanged. If either isn't right, the product or the method changes before the full coat goes on. It adds a short wait to the job, and it's the surest way to avoid a chimney that looks blotchy or doesn't shed water. The patch location is noted on the quote.

Measuring how thirsty the brick is

A RILEM or Karsten tube is a little marked glass cylinder that gets sealed to the brick face and filled with water. The level drops as the brick absorbs it, and timing that drop gives a simple measure of how much water the face is taking in.

A few spots on each face get tested and compared, and the results decide which faces need a repellent. A face that barely absorbs anything doesn't need treating. Testing again after application shows the repellent is working. It's quick, it's done on the free inspection, and it takes the guesswork out.

Cleaning off bloom before treatment

White efflorescence on the brick has to come off before a repellent goes on, and the water causing it has to be stopped. Sealing over salts traps them under the surface, where they keep working on the brick.

For light efflorescence, the Brick Industry Association points to a dry brush first, then a stiff fiber brush with clean water, and says to ask the brick maker before any pressurized cleaning. Our specialists use those gentle methods, let the brick dry fully, and only then apply the repellent. Heavy staining gets a closer look first, since it points to a bigger water problem. The brick is left to dry before anything is applied.

FAQs

Does brick need sealing at all?

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.

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 East Bronson at (352) 675-6366.
