Protect Your Chimney & Prevent Leaks!

What Is ChimneySaver?

ChimneySaver’s waterproofing products let Mother Nature know she is not invited into your chimney. Unlike typical concrete sealants that can accelerate damage to your chimney by trapping water vapors inside, ChimneySaver is specially formulated to form a semi-permeable membrane that allows your chimney’s brickwork to breathe.

ChimneySaver contains patented siloxanes small enough to penetrate most masonry pores up to ¼” or more. These siloxanes form a strong bond with the silica in masonry and concrete. Because of this bonding process, one application of ChimneySaver provides up to ten times the water repellent protection of typical sealers.

This 100% vapor-permeable water repellent penetrates and lines the brick’s microscopic masonry pores, keeping new water from penetrating while allowing any water that’s already trapped within the brickwork to escape. This is important because moisture from a variety of sources is always present in masonry and concrete. If these vapors can’t escape, they will likely contribute to brick scaling, spalling, and freeze/thaw damage.

ChimneySaver’s 10 -Year Limited Warranty

Saver Systems warrants that ChimneySaver water repellent will exhibit a water repellent effect for 10 years from the date of application if applied according to label instructions and if minimum application requirements are met. Our chimney technicians will apply ChimneySaver so that you can enjoy the full life of its warranty.

Note, however, that no water repellent is a substitute for good construction and workmanship. The first step in preventing water damage is to make necessary repairs as needed by installing a chimney cap and repairing structural cracks, damaged crowns, flashing, deteriorated bricks, and mortar joints. The second step is to protect porous masonry from further water penetration by applying ChimneySaver Water Repellent. At A to Z Chimney Services we are trained to handle all of these repairs and precautions.
