An old sealer gone cloudy or peeling
Some chimneys were coated in the past with a clear product that formed a film: a gloss on the brick that later clouded, whitened or began to peel. That film slows drying and can hold water behind it, and new penetrating repellents do not bond well over it. We look for signs of an old coating on Nocatee brick before any product is chosen, and test a small area if it is hard to tell. If the film has to come off first, the removal is priced with its method, following the old coating maker's directions where they are known. Call (904) 920-5495 and our waterproofing pros will test your Nocatee brick for free.

How It Works
Splash, repair, patch test, flood
-
Water test on brick and joints
We wet the faces and watch where the brick drinks, and check the crown, cap and flashing for openings.
-
Openings repaired, then cured
Joints, brick, crown and flashing are fixed first, and the data sheet's cure time runs before any treatment.
-
Test patch, then a flood coat
A patch shows how your brick takes the product. Then it goes on from the bottom up with a low-pressure sprayer, wet on wet.
-
Splash test and paperwork
Treated brick should bead water and stay light. You get the product, the faces treated and the cure time in writing.
Local Conditions
Old sealers near the coast in Nocatee
Chimneys close to the ocean often carry old coatings put on to keep salt out. Many have gone cloudy or started to peel, and a new repellent will not soak through them.
We test the old coating in Nocatee, and we report whether it must come off first.

Old sealer on the brick
Sealer applied in the past may still be on the brick, and a new treatment has to work with it or replace it. According to BIA, penetrating repellents are typically incompatible with film-forming coatings already on the brick, and putting one over the other can lead to clouding or poor penetration. Signs of an old film include a gloss, a whitish haze or patches that have peeled away. When we see those, a small test tells us more, and removal is listed as its own step, done to the old product maker's directions and with the removal products disposed of properly.
Painted or glazed brick is left out
The maker's directions for the repellent we apply exclude painted brick and glazed brick or tile. Paint already forms a film on the face, and a glazed unit has a fired, glass-like surface that the product cannot enter. Spraying either one wastes material and can leave a haze. Painted or glazed sections of a chimney are therefore masked off and left untreated. If paint on the chimney is blistering, peeling or taking the brick face with it, that points to moisture trapped behind it, and what to do about the paint is set out as a separate decision.
What the treated brick looks like
Once cured, a penetrating treatment is meant to leave the chimney looking much as it did before. The product's own literature describes little or no gloss and no change to natural color or texture, while noting that dense surfaces can darken slightly and that existing stains may become more visible. BIA adds that a noticeable sheen after treatment can mean the wrong product or poor application. The trial area is therefore judged dry, in daylight, from the ground as well as up close, and compared with untreated brick next to it before the rest of the stack is done.

FAQ
Waterproofing questions from Nocatee
Do you waterproof chimneys in Nocatee?
We do, as part of our chimney work there. A visit starts with a look at how water is getting in, and treatment is only recommended when the brick itself needs it.
Is chimney sealing the same as waterproofing?
People use both words for the same job. What matters is the product: we use penetrating repellents that let the brick breathe. Film sealers and paint stay off.
