Chimney Waterproofing Solutions in Abington, MA help protect older masonry chimneys from rain, snow, and moisture damage, reducing leaks, staining, and the kind of deterioration that leads to costly repairs.
Abington’s housing dates back to its years as a 19th-century shoe manufacturing town, and many of the homes built during that era, along with the newer single-family construction that has filled in around them, still rely on original masonry chimneys. Brick and mortar that old were never treated to resist water, and decades of exposure leave them more vulnerable to moisture than a newer system.
Chimneys that were converted from coal or wood heat to oil or gas often have masonry that was built for a different kind of use altogether. Combined with a full New England winter, freeze-thaw cycles push water deeper into old mortar joints every year, which is exactly the kind of damage waterproofing is built to slow down.
The full chimney and fireplace service lineup – available across Burlington and the surrounding towns.
We use a breathable sealant that keeps water out without trapping existing moisture inside the brick, which matters on the kind of older masonry common throughout Abington.
Before we waterproof anything, we check the crown, cap, and flashing for existing damage. Sealing over a crack does not fix it, so we make sure the chimney is actually sound first.
