Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Water proofing chimney leaks
Most homeowners have a problem of neglecting the chimneys not unless they have a problem. In most cases, chimneys are normally exposed to harsh weather conditions and it's necessary for an inspection to be done on an annual basis. Having this process done consistently can save you millions of dollars. Apart from water leaks, some of the potential threats to your chimney include the build up of creosote as well as the infestation of raccoons and squirrels. The chimney swifts are also part of the mess especially during their migration period. During the rainy season, it is possible to have water leaks along the walls of the chimneys and this is why a homeowner has to ensure he has the water proof material that will impede this process altogether. When checking for the chimney leaking joints, it's better to start with the joints along the bricks.

This is a process that should be done with a professional if you are scared of heights. These experts have a set of the needful tools that can look into the slightest chance of leakage within the chimney.

There are some steps that should be followed when checking for the water proofing chimney leaks:

  • You need to get the exact measurement of the chimney area. The sides of the chimney have to be evaluated and also get the amount of the material that will be enough for this process.
  • Clean the entire chimney in order to remove molds and dirt, other stubborn stains and creosote should be removed. This should be done with the use of special equipments in order to get rid of the accumulated debris. A stiff brush in this case is needed. At times a power washer can be used and the chimney should be left for at least 24 hours.
  • The chimney minor repairs should also be done at this point. The mortar joints and all the susceptible areas should be checked. Some of the processes that can be conducted in this stage include the replacement of bricks, the rebuilding of the chimney as well as tuck pointing. The professional expert will determine the right process depending on the complexity of the damage.
  • Select on a water proofing material that will also allow the surface to breathe apart from the normal function of repelling the water. When it comes to treating the chimneys, it's important to use a sealer. The moisture has the tendency to escape through the bricks.
Waterproofing the chimney leaks is a vital step as it will impede many serious complications. When applying the coat, it's much better to start from the bottom part to the top. The chimneys have varied makes and it's important for the professional to know the right procedure when applying the water proof. This process is easy and can enhance the lifespan of the chimney depending on the materials used. Much caution should be taken because too much application of the water proof can darken the surface.
