Why Use A Vapor-Permeable Waterproofing Product?

Brick and mortar are porous materials by nature, which is one reason they’re so great for chimney construction. Their porous nature allows them to dispel vapor produced during combustion, but unfortunately, this trait can also cause them to take in water. So what can be done?

A vapor-permeable waterproofing product will block out large water molecules, while still allowing smaller vapor molecules to make their way out of the masonry. As a result, you’ll get water protection, without trapping vapor inside of the masonry where it can cause damage. This characteristic is what separates our professional waterproofing products from the other products on the market. Unfortunately, many homeowners choose to paint or seal their chimney, which can actually lead to further damage. Don’t take chimney waterproofing into your own hands – instead, call on the experts at Atlas Chimney! Our products provide long-lasting, professional results and won’t change the way your brick looks!
