ChimneySaver Waterproofing Services

Your chimney is particularly susceptible to the effects of weather (especially water) because it projects above the roofline, in a line of direct attack. Exposed to the elements year after year, masonry chimneys can begin to develop various types of damage, from eroded masonry joints to degraded bricks and spalling (the peeling or chipping of layers of brick).

Older chimneys, having been bombarded by the elements for decades and decades, are that much more susceptible to water damage, including spalling. The brick and mortar used in masonry chimneys is permeable, and a certain amount of water will get absorbed even by brand new brick. But as brick deteriorates and allows water to penetrate deeper, it can begin to crumble and crack from the inside out. To prevent this type of damage and prolong the life of your masonry, have your masonry professionally waterproofed, today!

Blue Sky Chimney Sweeps can help protect your masonry by applying ChimneySaver Water Repellent, a product we’ve used for many years with proven results. We stand by its ability to significantly protect masonry against water damage, by effectively reducing water infiltration by 99.9 percent.

What Makes ChimneySaver Water Repellent Such A Great Product?

Masonry chimneys are made with porous materials for a reason — this allows vapors inside of the chimney to pass through the masonry, expelling to the outside. Simply coating a masonry chimney with latex paint or some other type of waterproofing product would trap those vapors inside, preventing the chimney from functioning properly and leading to further damage.

Unlike other products on the market, ChimneySaver is a 100-percent vapor-permeable sealant that keeps water from getting into the chimney through the brick, but still allows moisture to escape from the inside. The sealant is clear, so it won’t negatively affect the look of your masonry — in fact, it actually tends to make the brick color pop, making the chimney look even better. It also protects your masonry against mildew, fungus and stains, including efflorescence (the white powdery or crystalline deposits that you’ll see on some masonry chimneys).

We’re confident in this product, and ChimneySaver is confident enough to provide a 10-year warranty!

ChimneySaver Water Repellent Needs To Be Applied By Chimney Professionals

ChimneySaver Water Repellent is only available to chimney professionals, who are trained in proper application and safety measures. Inferior brands that you might see in hardware stores won’t provide the type of protection you get with ChimneySaver — those products are often only suitable for use on wood, and some contain silicone additives that can actually harm your masonry chimney.
