Bricks are like sponges! When water strikes the surface of the brick, it slowly penetrates to the interior, causing the brick to weaken, and eventually, crumble. To delay further damage, you can have your chimney waterproofed. Boston’s Best Chimney offers professional grade waterproofing product that’s 100% vapor permeable, which allows the water vapors to escape instead of being trapped. If this moisture is left untreated, spalling, scaling, deterioration, and freeze-thaw damage can be expedited.
One of the best protections you can offer a newly repaired or rebuilt chimney is waterproofing. Be sure that waterproofing is part of any chimney repair!
