Waterproofing for Allen Chimney
Prevent leaking before it happens by calling Allen Chimneys to fully waterproof your chimney today! Waterproofing is the process of spraying a waterproof barrier onto your chimney, sealing in the bricks, stucco, and/or stone, as well as the mortar joints that hold the structure together. Sealing in the masonry will prevent water infiltration for years and prevent an immense amount of damage.
It is recommended to waterproof your chimney every 6-7 years, as it is exposed to weather elements, such as rain, wind, snow, and fluctuating freeze and thaw temperatures, more than any other part of your home! Being constantly exposed to such elements puts the chimney in an endless state of battle with mother nature, specifically moisture! Because masonry is porous, water infiltration is a constant and indeed the worst enemy for a chimney, causing a laundry list of issues, including the structural damage of your chimney and interior flue lining damage.
