What's included

Your chimney waterproofing in Ballard

Every chimney waterproofing we do in Ballard includes:

  • A vapor-permeable sealant that repels rain but lets old brick breathe
  • Hairline cracks and open joints treated before anything goes on
  • The full chimney exterior coated, not just the weather side
  • Protection rated to hold for 5 to 10 years
  • Coverage documented with photographs

Why Ballard homes need it

Lakeside air off Salmon Bay and the Ship Canal keeps Ballard masonry wet well into spring. Paired with early-1900s Craftsman bungalows and brick buildings alongside new townhomes, that is why so many Ballard homeowners stay ahead of chimney waterproofing instead of waiting for a leak.
