Our waterproofing approach, one step at a time
Weather on the application day
The weather on the day matters. Product data sets limits for air and surface temperature, and it warns against wind, because spray can drift onto glass, cars and plants. Rain soon after application can also reduce the result.
We watch the forecast and move the date if the conditions fall outside the product's limits. Hot surfaces are a particular concern, because the carrier can evaporate before the repellent penetrates. If the job has to be rescheduled, we tell you as soon as we know, and the scope stays as agreed.
Cars, furniture and the driveway
Spray drift can travel further than people expect, especially in a light breeze. Cars, outdoor furniture, grills and anything with glass or paint should be moved well away from the chimney on the application day.
Tell us where things will be moved to, so we can plan our own access. If something cannot be moved, we cover it. We watch the wind during application and stop if it picks up, rather than risk drift reaching things that should stay clean.
Rain falling down the flue
Treating the faces of a chimney does nothing for rain that falls straight down the flue. That water lands on the damper and firebox and can soak the masonry from the inside. A cap over the flue is what keeps it out.
We check the top as part of every waterproofing assessment. If the flue is open or the cap is damaged, we list it as its own item. There is little point protecting the faces while rain pours into the middle of the chimney.
Results you can check in Parkland
After a chimney in Parkland is treated, the results are visible from the ground. In rain, the treated faces should shed water rather than soak it up. Afterward, they should dry evenly.
If any area behaves differently, tell us. It may be a patch that took the product differently, a crack that has opened or an area the treatment did not reach. We look at it and explain the cause. Where our application is at fault, the workmanship warranty covers putting it right.

Your chimney waterproofing questions
Can you waterproof a chimney built from concrete block?
Sometimes. Block differs from brick, and some repellents that suit brick are not recommended for block. Where the block is painted or finished in stucco, a clear repellent may not fit at all. We match the product to the masonry or explain why none suits it.
Does a metal flue inside a framed box need waterproofing?
Not with a masonry repellent. A framed chase has no brick to treat. Its water problems come from the cover at the top, the collar around the pipe and the siding or stucco joints, and we look at those instead.
What if an earlier coating is already on the brick?
We try to identify it and test how the surface responds. Some coatings stop a new repellent from soaking in, and a glossy film may be holding moisture. If the old coating has to come off, that is a separate item with its own method and test.
