Chimney Waterproofing
Keep Water Out.
Protect Your Chimney For Years!
Condensation is the number one enemy of masonry chimneys. Brick and mortar absorb moisture like a sponge. Our wet coastal climate creates cracking, crumbling, efflorescence, leaks and costly repairs.
If you live in the Greater Vancouver area, our full-service chimney professionals will assess and repair your chimney if required. We will apply Siloxane, which is a professional-grade, breathable waterproofing treatment that protects your chimney system.

We Check and Clean Up
We inspect our finished work and leave your home looking like we were never there!
Why Waterproof Your Chimney?
Here are the biggest reasons to protect your chimney before the damage starts:
Water that freezes inside masonry expands and causes cracks, spalling and crumbling mortar.
Moisture entering through the chimney can stain ceilings and walls and cause mould.
Water not being absorbed by the chimney system eliminates effelorsence.
Protecting masonry now costs far less than repairing or rebuilding later.
Water ingress into the flue causes sulfuric acid to rust the damper, damage internal mortar joints, and the firebox.
Best Timing for Waterproofing
Waterproofing works best on clean, dry masonry, so we schedule around the forecast. Late spring through early fall is ideal, but we can often work year-round when conditions permit.
Sound Masonry First
If your chimney has cracking, loose bricks or crumbling mortar, we recommend repairs before waterproofing.
Waterproofing is protection, not a repair.
