All new and existing masonry substrates are suceptible to water damage and, even if repaired, will continue to deteriorate if not protected.

The Problem

Chimneys are highly exposed to the elemants and, if left unprotected, are suceptible to structural deterioration. It is important to address this problem before serious damage occurs. A complete chimney potection plan should include repairing the crown as well as water proofing the entire chimney with water repellant.

Water Damage Can Be Prevented

 Protected chimney.

Water penetration and freeze/thaw damage result in loss of insulation value and lead to structural failure.

Efflorescence stains caused by water penetration and leaching salts are unsightly and add to deterioration.
