Leaving a chimney or fireplace unassessed can easily have life-changing impacts on you and your home. Some chimney deterioration is common because chimneys are constantly absorbing precipitation. A masonry chimney is similar to a sponge as it is dry and porous and absorbs and releases water. As this cycle is repeated the brick and mortar begin to break down and cause a leaky chimney.
A leaky chimney results in discoloration of the bricks, rusted chimney and fireplace parts, mold growth, and foul smells. These water issues aren’t exclusive to masonry units. Prefabricated chimneys also experience leaks that yield these same results. Ultimately, even if your chimney isn’t being used it’s still necessary to have it inspected so you can live safely and avoid costly damage to your home.
There is something you can do to avoid unforeseen circumstances that result from a neglected chimney. Allstar Chimney Cap Augusta is ready to help you get scheduled for your annual inspection today so you can know that your chimney isn’t a threat to you and your home.
Breathe Clean Air
Chimney blockages can significantly impact the air quality in your home, as incomplete ventilation allows smoke to circulate back inside, potentially causing harm to your lungs and overall health. Additionally, wildlife such as birds or squirrels pose a risk by potentially obstructing proper ventilation, creating hazards for both you and the animals.
Moreover, the waste produced by these animals can carry respiratory diseases, further compromising the indoor air quality. Our Allstar Chimney Cap Augusta Teams are well-equipped with experience and training in humane animal removal and comprehensive chimney cleaning services. Hiring a professional is undoubtedly the best, and possibly the only, solution to address any air quality issues caused by chimney blockages.
Sealants, Which Is The Best?
Observing a house from the street, you may notice a chimney positioned on one side of the home. While it may not be the most common feature to catch your eye, it does stand out. However, due to its exposure to constantly changing weather conditions, ranging from scorching sun to freezing temperatures, the chimney is more susceptible to cracking.
Additionally, there might be holes or gaps in the previous sealants, which can lead to water penetrating the chimney and potentially causing significant water damage, especially to the home’s interior. Although bricks are generally sturdy building materials, they have a tendency to absorb a considerable amount of water.
To safeguard against damage caused by dampness and water, the best course of action is to block any potential water infiltration with a robust sealant. By taking this preventative measure, you can effectively prevent damage and preserve the structural integrity of the chimney, as well as protect your home from any water-related issues.
Types of Sealants
Silicone Sealant:
- Rapid curing time
- Yields a delicate finish
- Not recommended for high-traffic areas
- Not very abrasion-resistant
- Best suited for use on materials like metal, glass, and tile
- Effective in any temperature, including chilly conditions
- Long life expectancy of 20+ years
Polyurethane Sealant:
- Requires over 24 hours to completely dry
- Results in a hard finish
- Performs well in high-traffic areas
- Resistant to abrasions
- Ideal for use on wood surfaces only
- Challenging to apply in colder temperatures and lacks a strong bond when cold
- Long-term life expectancy
