Leak Prevention

Picture
At Paul's Chimney Cleaning and Restoration, we understand the importance of preventive maintenance and use the best products available in the industry such as Chimney Saver Water Repellent, and have enjoyed excellent results in preventing water leaks.

Why?

This water repellent infuses a negative charge over the structure that will effectively repel water molecules, which are similarly charged. Think of a magnet rejecting similar poles. 
Picture
Each winter, water fills masonry cracks and expands when it freezes, widening the fissures and pushing the brickwork out of place, leading to costly repairs.

To diagnose the exact reason a chimney leaks is a tricky business. Too many factors are at play, not least of all the porous nature of masonry chimneys.

Other factors that lead to leaks and water damage are inadequate flashing, damaged or worn roof, and cracks in the masonry.

Water damage will spread to the house framing, causing the wood to rot and adding to repair cost.
