Chimney Waterproofing
Breathable water-repellent sealing plus crown and cap work that stops rain from soaking into masonry and destroying it from within.
Professional Chimney Waterproofing in Asheville & Western NC
Water is the single biggest destroyer of masonry chimneys. Brick and mortar are porous; they soak up rain and snowmelt, and in the mountains the freeze-thaw cycle turns that trapped moisture into a wedge that cracks the crown, crumbles mortar joints, and spalls the face right off the brick. Waterproofing stops that cycle before it forces an expensive rebuild.
What's Involved
Steady Flame applies a breathable, vapor-permeable water repellent made for chimneys — it sheds rain from the outside while still letting the masonry release moisture from within, so it protects without trapping dampness in the wall. Before sealing, we address the real entry points: repairing the crown, setting a proper cap, and checking the flashing, since a sealant alone won't fix an open crown. It's inexpensive prevention next to repointing or rebuilding later, and it protects the chimney that keeps your fireplace or stove ready as backup heat when a storm cuts the power.
