The Importance Of Waterproofing Chimney Maintenance

Keeping water from intruding into your chimney and into your home is an important consideration in chimney design. Over time, as weather and water take their toll — and cracks potentially begin to develop — bricks and mortar joints can start sucking up way too much water, even wicking it all the way through to the building materials behind them. This causes problems quickly, from leaks that accelerate the deterioration of your chimney to mold and frame and drywall damage inside your home.

The best way to help arm your masonry against that water intrusion is to have Northeastern Masonry & Chimney technicians apply a specially -designed waterproofing sealant.
