Damp patches on the chimney breast inside

Seeing damp or stained plaster on the wall above the fireplace after heavy rain? Water may be soaking through the chimney's brick from outside and reaching the room. Before any repellent is considered, our pros rule out the crown, cap and flashing, which are the usual entry points.

If those are sound and the brick is absorbing water on the weather side, a breathable repellent on that face can help. You'll hear the reasoning and see each step priced, and once the masonry has dried out, your quote says who repairs the interior finish.

Local Conditions

Brick absorption decides it inland

Chimney brick on a home in Hague isn't dealing with salt, so the question is simpler: is the brick absorbing more water than it should? An absorption test answers it face by face. Our pros test before recommending anything, and they fix the crown, cap, flashing and joints first. If the brick tests low after repairs, you won't need a repellent at all.

Our Process

Coating your chimney in Hague

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.

Why new brickwork waits longer

New masonry carries moisture from construction, and as it dries for the first time, white salt bloom can come out on the face. The Brick Industry Association suggests at least a month after the structure is enclosed before a repellent goes on, and ideally a full year for new brickwork.

Sealing too soon can hold that construction moisture in the wall. On a rebuilt chimney, our pros fit the cap and seal the crown right away, since those keep the worst water out, and leave the brick to dry naturally before any repellent is considered. You'll get a suggested date on your quote.

Treating only the faces that need it

Four faces on a chimney means four different doses of weather. The face turned toward the prevailing storms gets the most wind-driven rain and absorbs the most water; a sheltered face may barely get wet.

A repellent is recommended only on faces where the absorption tests high. Treating one or two faces instead of all four saves you money, and it keeps the sheltered faces as breathable as they were. The treated faces are marked on your quote, so you know where to check the beading and what to recoat later. A face treated later can use the same product.

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

Things to ask before sealing brick in Hague

How do you know the brick needs it?

Our pros test absorption with a small water tube on each face. Brick that takes in water quickly is a candidate; brick that barely absorbs doesn't need treating.

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 Hague at (352) 675-6366.
