What goes into treating chimney brick
Approving the treatment soon after your inspection
The free inspection gives you findings on the masonry, the repairs it needs and whether a repellent makes sense. Waterproofing you say yes to inside 72 hours of that free inspection gets a 10% discount. The clock starts with the visit to your home, not with the phone call.
You do not need to decide while we are there. Read the estimate, look at the product data and ask whatever you need. The discount is simply there for people who have their answers inside that window.
Checking the treatment on maintenance visits
Maintenance visits to homes in South Miami Heights give us a chance to see how a treatment is holding up. Brick that still sheds water evenly after rain suggests the repellent is working. Faces that darken and stay dark suggest it is fading or that something else has changed.
We also check the things the treatment depends on, such as the crown, the joints and the roof junction. A new crack or open joint can let water behind the treated surface. Catching it early keeps a small repair from undoing the protection.
Water-based and solvent-based products
Repellents come in water-based and solvent-based forms. The carrier affects the conditions for application, the odor and the regulations the product must meet. Water-based products tend to have less odor, which helps when the house is occupied.
We choose the carrier with your household and the masonry in mind, within the product's data. Tell us if odor is a concern, for example with young children or someone sensitive at home. We explain what the chosen product is like to live with during application.
Telling us about past leaks
Any history of leaks is useful when planning waterproofing. It tells us where water has got in before and whether those paths were repaired. A treatment is only worth applying once they are closed.
Tell us about stains, drips or damp patches you have seen, even if they stopped long ago. Mention any repairs made at the time. We check those areas closely. If an old path looks open again, it goes on the estimate as a repair ahead of treatment.

What people ask before sealing a chimney
Is there a charge for the waterproofing inspection?
No. The inspection and the written estimate that follows are free. You pay only for work you approve, at the figure in the estimate. Any change after a test area comes to you as a separate item before it goes ahead.
Will you protect my windows and plants during application?
Yes. Repellents can haze glass and harm plants, so windows, skylights, roofing and metal near the chimney are masked and beds below are covered. We ask you to move cars and outdoor furniture. Overspray is cleaned within the time the product allows.
How will I know if the treatment is still working?
Look at the chimney during and after rain. Treated faces should shed water and dry evenly. If a face darkens and holds water again, the treatment may be fading or something else has changed. A maintenance visit can check it and the parts it depends on.
