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.
