Chimney Maintenance: Why Do We Need to Waterproof a Chimney?

Water is a chimney’s worst enemy…and it causes all sorts of problems. Normally, what we see is the end result of the water leaks – sheetrock on the walls and ceilings falling down, warped floors, and sometimes soaked drapes and carpets.

Where does the water damage start, though? Over time, water causes damage to the brick and mortar of your chimney. Brick is an earth-made substance and acts like a sponge when water hits it – it’s permeable, so water can actually go all the way through it.

Cue: chimney waterproofing. Waterproofing is a surefire way to ensure water doesn’t enter your brickwork. It provides a reliable seal, while ensuring your brickwork can still “breathe” – an important balance to strike.

The best way to waterproof a chimney is to call the team here at Ables Top Hat Home Services, and let us come out to assess the chimney system, sweep it, treat it with the best waterproofing agent for our climate, and get it protected for the long haul.

Waterproofing a Chimney

Is DIY Chimney Waterproofing Possible?

Though not the suggested route, technically, yes – this is possible. Here’s a brief overview on how one might waterproof their chimney using a sealant:

  1. Clean the Chimney: Before applying the waterproofing sealant, it’s crucial to clean the chimney’s exterior surface. This ensures that the sealant will adhere properly and provide the best protection. You will need to use special tools and techniques to clean your chimney thoroughly, removing dirt, grime, and any loose debris.
  2. Repair Any Damage: Before applying the sealant, it’s also essential to repair any damage to your chimney, such as cracks or missing mortar. This ensures that the waterproofing sealant can provide a continuous barrier against water. For this, hire our team to identify and repair any damage, making sure your chimney is in top shape before waterproofing.
  3. Apply the Waterproofing Sealant: Once the chimney is clean and any damage is repaired, it’s time to apply the waterproofing sealant. Again, use a high-quality sealant specifically designed for chimneys. Then, carefully apply the sealant to the entire exterior surface of the chimney, making sure that every part is covered and protected from water. Any missing spot will still leave your chimney vulnerable!
  4. Maintain Your Chimney: After your chimney has been waterproofed, it’s important to maintain it properly to ensure that the waterproofing lasts. This includes scheduling regular chimney inspections and sweepings, as well as addressing any issues that may arise.

Not eager to deal with this lengthy process? Like we said above, calling our team of pros is the best way to waterproof a chimney…so why not try that instead? We use the most effective methods and techniques, as well as a professional-grade waterproofing sealant. Once we clean, repair, and waterproof your chimney, it’ll be protected from water damage for the long haul, keeping your home safe from leaks and other moisture issues for years to come.
