Chimney Waterproofing FAQs
How Does Chimney Waterproofing Protect My Chimney?
Chimney waterproofing creates a protective barrier that prevents water from seeping into your chimney. This barrier helps to prevent damage to the masonry, flue liner, and other chimney components. By preventing water penetration, you can avoid issues such as mold growth, deterioration, interior water damage, and costly repairs. Waterproofing your chimney also extends its lifespan, saving you money in the long run.
How Often Should Chimney Waterproofing Be Done?
Chimney waterproofing should be done every 5-10 years, depending on the condition of your chimney and any external factors that may increase the risk of water damage. Severe weather conditions, roof replacements, or noticeable signs of water damage may require more frequent waterproofing.
