Crown sealing is a separate job

Want the whole chimney top waterproofed? The crown takes a different product from the brick. Brick gets a penetrating repellent that lets it breathe; a concrete crown gets a flexible coating that forms a waterproof membrane over hairline cracks.

Our specialists seal the crown and treat the brick as two steps, each with the right material and each priced on its own line. Putting a brick repellent on a cracked crown won't stop water, and putting a crown coating on brick would trap moisture. Reserve crown sealing and brick waterproofing together in High Springs at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Waterproofing during a reroof

If a new roof is going on your home in High Springs, the chimney's crown, flashing and joints should be sorted while the roofers are there. A repellent is the last step, after the flashing work is done. Our specialists coordinate the order with your roofer, so the flashing seals against sound masonry and the brick is treated once everything around it is finished.

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.

Fix the cracks, then treat the brick

Water gets into a chimney through two kinds of path. Gaps, such as a cracked crown, a missing cap, lifted flashing or open joints, let water pour in. Porous brick lets it soak in slowly across the face.

A repellent only deals with the second kind. The Brick Industry Association notes repellents are most effective at reducing absorption and have limited effect on water entering through cracks and separations. That's why our pros fix every gap first and only then decide whether the brick needs treating. Spraying a repellent over open cracks is money spent on the wrong problem. The repairs are priced first, the repellent second.

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.

Stone, veneer and repellents

Natural stones vary widely in how much water they absorb. Many take in very little, so on a stone chimney the mortar joints carry most of the water. Treating low-absorption stone with a repellent adds cost without much benefit.

Our specialists test the stone's absorption and check the joints first, repointing where needed. Porous stones get a repellent suited to that stone. Manufactured stone veneer has its own maker's guidance on coatings and on the drainage behind it, and our pros follow that guide. You'll hear what your stone needs before any product is picked. Stone and joints are priced separately.

FAQs

Does brick need sealing at all?

Is High Springs somewhere you waterproof chimneys?

Yes, High Springs is in our service area. Our pros run an absorption test on your free inspection, since the brick decides whether a repellent is worth it. Damp brick or white bloom are good things to mention up front.

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 High Springs at (352) 675-6366.
