Chimney Waterproofing – Kansas City’s Best Chimney Water Damage Prevention

Water penetration is the number one cause of chimney damage. The midwestern climate is tough on chimneys. Rain, snow and freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on a masonry chimney, causing cracks in the mortar and structural damage. All masonry chimneys are vulnerable to water damage. In fact, moisture is always present in a masonry chimney. For this reason, we recommend treating your chimney with a water repellent.

ChimneySaver® Water Repellent

Fluesbrothers uses an excellent product — ChimneySaver® water repellent. ChimneySaver® is specifically designed to protect chimney exteriors from harsh weather conditions and is guaranteed to last for 10 years. Just one application of ChimneySaver® will provide about 10 times the water repellant protection of other sealers. This product is a 100% vapor-permeable waterproofing agent that will protect your chimney from the damaging effects of water, including brick flaking, cracks and gaps in mortar.

Some of the benefits of ChimneySaver® include:

  • Minimizes deterioration of brick masonry
  • Blocks water from penetrating into brick masonry
  • Protects homeowners from expensive masonry repairs

Protect Your Chimney & Save Later

Waterproofing your chimney is an investment in the long-term protection of your property. This investment will hopefully save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars down the road.

It is especially important to treat your chimney with a water repellent when a new liner has been installed. If you have recently installed a new chimney liner, now is the time to treat your chimney with ChimneySaver®. Without a water repellent treatment, your chimney will just continue to break down around the new liner and will ultimately have to be rebuilt.

While waterproofing your chimney is a good idea, nothing can take the place of good construction. The Fluesbrothers will inspect your chimney and let you know if there is a problem with the structure that may be causing leaks. Click here to schedule an appointment online.
