Exterior Waterproofing in the Basement

Locating and correcting the area of moisture entry and repairing chimney brick spalling can be achieved by applying a breathable sealant which can slow or stop the effects of spalling. Our home inspectors constantly find chimneys in need of repair, especially on older homes. This is because the chimney is the one feature of a home that is constantly exposed to all the weather elements and therefore it's more likely to suffer. Chimney water damage is accelerated by deterioration from the freezing and thawing of moisture that has penetrated the masonry surface causing the chimney brick spalling and deterioration.
