Book Waterproofing Services With Us to Keep Your Chimney in Tip-Top Shape
You’re sitting in your living room, and you hear it – the first drops of rain hitting your window. So, you do a mental check. Are your gutters cleaned out? Is your patio furniture inside? Are all of your windows shut? Is your pet indoors?
But wait – have you thought about whether or not your chimney is protected? If you’re like most, you probably think this strong and sturdy masonry structure is good to go when moisture fills the air, but this isn’t the case. In fact, bricks can absorb water quite easily if nothing is blocking it out.
Fortunately, extensive damage can be avoided with waterproofing services from us. We’re here for homeowners in Eastern Central Florida – call or contact us online today.
How Do I Know if My Chimney Needs Waterproofing Services?
Some big signs that indicate water is gaining access when it shouldn’t be include:
- If your firebox looks worn down and is showing signs of crumbling, it’s likely that moisture is gaining easy access to the area.
- Are your metal components rusted or showing signs of corrosion? That’s a clear-cut sign that water is getting in where it shouldn’t.
- Look at the outside of your chimney. Is your brick and mortar looking like it’s broken down? Are the mortar joints falling out? Do you have cracked or missing bricks? Some waterproofing services are in order – after repairs, of course.
- If you spot water pooling anywhere in the chimney, water is gaining easy access and should be addressed.
Now, these are things that you can watch for, but not all signs of water damage are so obvious. Because of this, investing in annual chimney inspections with a certified sweep is a must. Any issues that are left untreated only open the door for bigger problems, so don’t take any chances, and be sure to book with us today.
(And, don’t worry. If you we see that repairs are in order before getting your waterproofing job completed, we’d be happy to handle those too.)
Why Should I Hire a Professional for the Job?
One big reason to trust a professional for this type of job is simply to ensure you get the quality coverage your system needs. Our techs have been in the industry for quite some time, so you can rest assured we won’t miss spots or overlook important areas.
That said, what really makes trusting an expert your best choice is ensuring proper sealants are used. Most store-bought options simply don’t last – and many of them aren’t vapor-permeable, which is a must for your porous brickwork. It needs to breath out any moisture that’s already inside, so industry-grade products are always the way to go.
A chimney tech will know all of the ways to get things done right. In fact, here at Legendary Chimney, we use products from SaverSystems, meaning they come with a 10-year warranty – that’s long-lasting protection you can’t beat. Other (store-bought) products need to be applied more regularly, which ups costs and wastes time.
There’s no way around it. Trusting a professional for all of your chimney waterproofing services is the only way to go. We’d be happy to get this process started for you.
