Waterproofing
Water penetration through exterior masonry walls has a subtle yet deadly effect on chimneys. With the changing of seasons, expansion and contraction takes place. This process, combined with freezing and thawing from water intrusion, will lead to cracking and rapid deterioration.
Our waterproofing service prevents surface water penetration from happening by making the pores of your masonry smaller. However, given that masonry is porous by nature, it is vital that the pores on your chimney not be completely sealed and closed off. This could actually make matters worse by trapping moisture and eliminating your chimney’s ability to breathe.
Stay away from companies trying to sell you surface sealers! Clean Sweep 317 only uses the best products in the industry, and that includes our waterproofing. We’ll keep the water out while still allowing internal vapors to escape your chimney.
