Applying it in the right weather

A repellent only works if it goes on properly, and the weather decides that. Maker data sheets call for visibly dry masonry, a temperature range during and after application, and no rain for several hours afterwards.

The waterproofing day gets booked around the forecast, the brick is tested for dryness, and the date moves if rain threatens. It can mean waiting a few extra days, and it's the difference between a coat that protects the brick for years and one that washes off. Reserve waterproofing on a good day for your chimney in Inglis by calling (352) 675-6366.

The Gulf coast lies a short distance from Inglis, outside its limits. Measured directly, about 48 miles separate Inglis from the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

A little salt on the brick in Inglis

Salt from the nearby coast can leave a light film on brick in Inglis. It shows as white crust after storms and can keep the brick damp longer than it would be otherwise. Our specialists clean that film off before any repellent goes on, let the brick dry, and test absorption, so the product soaks in evenly and the salts aren't trapped underneath.

Our Process

Coating your chimney in Inglis

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.

Dry brick and a dry forecast

The selected repellent's data sheet sets its application conditions. Air and masonry temperature, surface moisture, curing time and the rain forecast all matter. A waiting period from a different product should not be substituted for those instructions.

Surface moisture requirements vary by product. Our pros check the selected instructions rather than assuming every repellent needs the same dry surface or rain-free interval. If the wall or forecast does not meet those requirements, application is rescheduled and the revised timing is explained.

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.

Telling whether the repellent is working

A working repellent makes water bead up and run off the brick instead of soaking in and darkening it. After a rain, or with a spray bottle on a dry day, you can see which faces are still protected.

Beading is part of every visit our pros make to the chimney. When a face starts darkening evenly with water again, the repellent has worn thin there, and a new coat can be applied to that face, following the maker's reapplication advice. Faces in full sun and weather wear first, so they may need attention sooner than sheltered ones. Recoating only the worn faces keeps the cost down.

FAQs

Things to ask before sealing brick in Inglis

Can a repellent cure a chimney that leaks?

Only if the leak is water soaking through porous brick. Leaks through a cracked crown, missing cap, flashing or open joints need those repairs, and our pros fix them first.

How will I know when it needs another coat?

Watch the brick after rain. Beading means it's working; brick that darkens and soaks up water means the repellent has worn thin on that face. Our pros check it on every visit.
