About this service
chimney waterproofing Pleasant Grove UT done right
chimney waterproofing Pleasant Grove UT is a vapor-permeable masonry treatment that repels rain and snowmelt while still letting brick breathe. We start with a moisture meter reading, then apply a breathable sealant like ChimneySaver to the brick, crown, and any exposed mortar joints. Water beads and runs off instead of soaking in, so freeze-thaw cycles can't pop the face off your brick. We also seal the crown, check the flashing, and confirm the cap and damper are doing their jobs.
Pleasant Grove sits in Utah County where winters swing hard between 40-degree afternoons and 15-degree nights. That freeze-thaw cycle is brutal on older brick chimneys, especially the ones built before 1970 around Old Pleasant Grove. Water gets in through hairline cracks, freezes overnight, and expands until the brick face spalls off. If you've been searching for chimney waterproofing Pleasant Grove UT near me after a leak showed up last spring, you're in the right place.

What's included
What our chimney waterproofing service includes
Every waterproofing job covers the essentials: inspection, prep, sealing, and testing. If we find damage that needs repair first, we quote it separately so you know what you're paying for and why. No bundling surprises.
✓
Moisture meter inspection
We test brick and mortar at multiple points to find where water is actually getting in, not just where it looks wet. Takes about 15 minutes and tells us exactly what needs sealing.
✓
Mortar joint repointing
Loose or crumbling joints get ground out and repacked with fresh mortar using a masonry trowel and jointing tool. Sealing over bad mortar is a waste of money.
✓
Crown sealing
The crown gets a dedicated coat of crown sealant to fill hairline cracks and shed water away from the flue. Most Pleasant Grove leaks start right here.
✓
Two-coat breathable sealant
We apply two coats of ChimneySaver or HomeSaver vapor-permeable sealant to the brick and mortar. Water beads off, but the masonry still breathes so trapped moisture can escape.
✓
Flashing and cap check
We inspect the flashing and cap while we're on the roof. If either is failing, we'll quote the repair so your waterproofing actually holds.
✓
Water test and report
We hose-test from the top down and confirm no water tracks inside. You get a short written summary of what was done and when to reseal.
How it works
How our waterproofing process works
01
Inspection and moisture test
We climb up, run a moisture meter across the brick, and check the crown, flashing, cap, and damper. You get a straight answer on what's leaking and what isn't. Takes 30 to 45 minutes.
02
Surface prep and repair
Loose mortar gets repointed with a masonry trowel and jointing tool. Cracked crown sections get patched with crown sealant. We don't seal over damage, because that just traps the problem underneath.
03
Masking and protection
We drape the roof, siding, and any nearby windows before a single drop of sealant goes on. Overspray on shingles or stucco is a nightmare to remove, so we don't let it happen.
04
Sealant application
Two coats of vapor-permeable sealant go on the brick and mortar, plus a dedicated crown coat. We use a low-pressure sprayer for even coverage and back-brush into the joints by hand.
05
Water test and walkthrough
We hose-test the chimney from the top down and watch for any water tracking inside. If it's dry, we walk you through what was done and what to watch for. Total job time is usually two to four hours.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use for waterproofing
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Moisture meter
Reads water content in brick and mortar so we seal the right areas instead of guessing. Essential for finding hidden leaks.
Inspection camera
Goes inside the flue to check for cracked liner tiles, creosote buildup, and animal nesting that you can't see from the roof.
Masonry trowel and jointing tool
Used for repointing mortar joints and packing crown sealant. Hand tools give a cleaner finish than any sprayer.
Rotary chimney sweep and flue brush
Clears creosote and debris from the flue before sealing, so we're not trapping soot against the liner.
Low-pressure sealant sprayer
Applies ChimneySaver and HomeSaver sealant evenly without overspray onto shingles or siding.
Smoke pen
Confirms draft and helps locate air leaks around the damper and firebox before we seal the exterior.
Real results
Before and after.
1950s bungalow leak fixed
Before
A homeowner near Old Pleasant Grove had water stains spreading across the ceiling every spring. The crown was cracked in three places and the mortar joints were soft enough to dig out with a screwdriver.
After
We repointed 40 feet of mortar joints, rebuilt the crown, and applied two coats of ChimneySaver. Hose test showed zero water intrusion. The ceiling stains stopped after the next storm.
Spalling brick on Mount Mahogany
Before
A two-story chimney on the south face had 14 spalled bricks and efflorescence across the whole stack. The homeowner was quoted $4,800 for a partial rebuild by another company.
After
We replaced the 14 bricks, repointed the surrounding mortar, and waterproofed the entire chimney for $1,150. The brick face is intact and the efflorescence stopped within two months.
Rusted damper and cracked liner
Before
A Grove Creek home had a damper rusted shut and two cracked liner tiles from years of water running down the flue. The homeowner couldn't use the fireplace safely.
After
We installed a stainless steel liner to NFPA 211 spec, replaced the damper, sealed the crown, and waterproofed the brick. Total job ran $2,400 and took two days.

Chimney water problems we solve in Pleasant Grove
Water finds every weak point in a chimney. Here are the four failures we see most often in Utah County, and how we fix them before they turn into a rebuild.

Spalling brick on the south face
We replace badly spalled brick, repoint the mortar, and seal the entire stack with breathable waterproofing. That stops the cycle and buys you 15 to 20 years before the next major repair.
Rusty damper and cracked liner tiles
We repair or replace the damper, reline if needed with a stainless steel liner, then waterproof the exterior so the inside stays dry. Fixing the liner without stopping the water just delays the next failure.
Animal nesting and blocked flue
We remove the nesting, sweep the flue with a rotary chimney sweep, install a proper stainless cap, and waterproof the stack. One visit solves all three problems.

We quote the exact number after inspection.
chimney water sealing Pleasant Grove includes a moisture test, surface prep, repointing of any loose mortar, crown sealing, and two coats of vapor-permeable sealant on the brick and mortar joints. We also check the flashing, cap, and damper while we're up there. If we find a failed flashing or a cracked crown, we'll quote that repair separately so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Every 5 to 7 years is the standard for Pleasant Grove chimneys, though homes near Grove Creek and Battle Creek with heavy tree cover may need it sooner because of moss and organic growth holding moisture against the brick. If you've had a chimney leak or a spalling issue, reseal every 3 to 5 years. We'll tell you at inspection when your next treatment is due.
Yes, same day chimney waterproofing Pleasant Grove UT is available when you call before noon and the weather is dry. Sealant needs 24 hours of no rain to cure, so we watch the forecast closely. If rain is coming, we'll schedule you for the next clear window and give you a two-hour arrival block so you're not waiting around all day.
