Water Damage Can Be Prevented

Chimneys are highly exposed to the elements and, if left unprotected, are susceptible to structural deterioration. It is important to address this problem before serious damage occurs. A complete chimney protection program should include repairing the crown with CrownSeal or CrownCoat, as well as waterproofing the entire chimney with ChimneySaver water repellent.

Superior Technology

ChimneySaver contains patented siloxanes small enough to penetrate most masonry pores up to 1/4" or more. These special siloxanes form strong bonds 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 while maintaining the masonry's breathability.

100% Breathable

Moisture from a variety of sources is always present in masonry and concrete. Sealers and silicone coatings form a water resistant surface film which traps water vapors inside. If these vapors cannot escape, they will contribute to spalling, scaling, deterioration, and freeze-thaw damage. ChimneySaver is 100% vapor permeable - a non film-forming water repellent that penetrates and lines masonry pores.

Superior Value!

The superior value and added benefits of protecting your masonry with ChimneySaver are obvious when comparisons are made with popular retail brands of water sealers.

ChimneySaver and CrackMagik A Great Combination!

CrackMagik is breathable elastomeric sealant that seals larger cracks (up to 1/8") and other minor defects that cannot be corrected with a water repellent alone. If larger than hair-line cracks exist, CrackMagik can be used in addition to ChimneySaver to seal minor cracks that have developed over the years on otherwise structurally sound chimneys.

Protect Your Investment

There are approximately 40 million masonry chimneys in North America and the most common problem with these structures is water penetration. Water causes over a billion dollars in damage annually in the form of staining, loss of insulation value, freeze-thaw damage, deterioration, and ultimately structural failure.
ChimneySaver is a WATER REPELLENT - not a water sealer. The difference could save you hundreds, or even thousands of dollars in repairs because sealers can actually damage masonry. Unlike waterproofing sealers that remain on the surface, ChimneySaver penetrates deep enough to protect masonry from destructive water penetration while maintaining the structure's vapor permeability.

Long-Term Protection

ChimneySaver is an investment in long-term protection that will help prevent expensive reconstruction. No water repellent, however, is a substitute for good construction and workmanship. The first step in preventing water damage is to make necessary repairs to structural cracks, damaged crowns, flashings, deteriorated bricks, and mortar joints. The second step is to protect porous masonry from further water penetration by applying ChimneySaver Water Repellent.

Protection is particularly needed when a new chimney liner has been installed. If repairs and preventive measures are not taken, the old chimney will continue to deteriorate around the new liner.
