ChimneySaverâ Water Repellant

Guarding against Water Damage to your Chimney

Seems kind of odd, doesn't it?  Water damage to a chimney.  You might think something as supposedly as strong and stout as a chimney wouldn't need protection from water.  But water is extremely powerful - just witness the Grand Canyon!

Your chimney is constantly exposed to weather - and often that appears as water in one form or another: usually rain or snow.  Not only can water do serious damage in your house if it gets inside, it can literally break the chimney apart through the freeze-thaw cycle during winter weather.

Taking care of your chimney involves more than inside maintenance; it also means applying a top-quality, reasonably-priced water repellant to the outside.

We use and recommend ChimneySaver^â Water Repellant to extend the life of your chimney and give you further peace of mind.

ChimneySaver^â doesn't plug the surface with solid acrylics or silicones, so the chimney can breathe, allowing water vapors produced inside to escape to the outside.

Additionally, ChimneySaver^â can prevent the ugly stains you often see on brickwork: the result of mineral salts evaporating out of the bricks and mortar after water penetration.

Advantages of using ChimneySaver^â Water Repellant:

• It lets the chimney breathe, allowing interior water vapors to escape

• It is strengthened by exposure to sunlight

• It stops water at hairline cracks

• It is warrantied for 10 years with only a single application
