Brick Chimney Waterproofing

Waterproofing your brick chimney is just as important as your brick chimney flashing. Water can be absorbed into the porous surface of the brick and seep behind your brick chimney flashing. Properly treating your brick with a quality sealant will ensure years of worry-free service from your chimney.

Your mortared chimney crown can also crack over time, allowing water to penetrate and freeze in the winter. Such freezing will expand and cause your mortared chimney crown to fracture severly, allowing leaks into your home.
