Worried about spring showers negatively affecting the state of your masonry chimney? We don’t blame you! Water damage and excess moisture can take a big toll on your system, and it won’t be long before you start noticing decay and deterioration throughout your brickwork and mortar. This is why waterproofing is such an important investment to consider. Learn more about the benefits of waterproofing below, then count on our experts to get it done for you. We are trusted all throughout Indianapolis and its surrounding areas.
Your Brickwork Is Absorbent
When water soaks into your brickwork and mortar, it does not take long for things to start breaking down and crumble. Soon, you will notice cracks, holes, and other structural issues throughout the system. Once things start to break down, you system will start to decline in efficiency too. It won’t be long before you experience draft and airflow issues. In fact, a chimney that is breaking down should not be used at all, because the risks of fires and carbon monoxide exposure increase significantly.
In the end, you will need to pay a lot of money for expensive and time-consuming repairs before you can put your fireplace to use again. Investing in affordable waterproofing services now is a much better option than draining your bank account for costly work down the line.
Why Trust A CSIA Certified Professional?
When it comes to protecting your brickwork and mortar, you should hire a CSIA certified crew at CinderBox Chimney Services, from the very start. We will be able to do a thorough inspection and address any repairs you system needs.
We also use the best products available to keep your system as structurally sound as possible. When you invest in paints or sealers from the store, they are typically not vapor permeable. Why is this important? Well, if your chimney cannot vent out vapors or pre-absorbed moisture, it will continue to break down from the inside. Most paints merely seal the brickwork, which stops rain from working its way, which is terrible for your masonry chimney.
We use ChimneySaver, which keep your chimney well-preserved and won’t trap in moisture. It also comes with a 10-year warranty, and it protects against mold, mildew, fungus, stains, the freeze/thaw process, and more. It is environmentally-friendly, and it will not affect the aesthetic appeal of your system. This brand is well-trusted throughout the chimney industry, and we are proud to use it.
