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 Water Damage Baton Rouge 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
Blockages in your chimney will have serious negative effects on the quality of your air. Smoke is hard on the lungs, and if it’s not all going out the chimney, it’s coming back into your home and your body. Wildlife such as birds or squirrels run the risk of blocking proper ventilation, creating hazards for both your health and theirs.
The waste of these animals can also carry respiratory diseases. Allstar Chimney Water Damage Baton Rouge Teams have experience and training in humane animal removal and all chimney cleaning degrees. Certainly, hiring a professional is the best (and possibly only) way to solve an air quality issue that the chimney causes.
Sealants, Which Is The Best?
As you glance at a home from the street, you may notice a chimney standing on one side. Although not the most common sight, it does draw attention. The chimney’s exposure to ever-changing weather conditions, from scorching sun to freeze-thaw cycles, raises the risk of developing cracks. Additionally, any holes in the previous sealants could lead to significant water damage, especially affecting your home. While bricks are generally sturdy, they do have a tendency to soak up water. To protect against potential damage caused by dampness and water, applying a strong sealant is the best preventive measure.
Types of Sealants
Silicone Sealant:
- Rapid curing process
- Dries to a delicate finish
- Less suitable for high traffic areas
- Not highly abrasion-resistant
- Best for materials like metal, glass, and tile
- Works effectively in all temperatures, including chilly conditions
- Life expectancy of 20+ years
Polyurethane Sealant:
- Requires over 24 hours to fully dry
- Cures to a hard finish
- Performs well in high traffic areas
- Resistant to abrasions
- Recommended for use on wood surfaces only
- Challenging to apply in colder temperatures and lacks a strong bond when cold
- Long-term life expectancy
To protect the connecting edges of your chimney to the home, sealants are used.
