Green staining on one face
Green or dark staining on one side of a chimney means that face stays damp long enough for growth to take hold, and the brick there dries more slowly than the rest. Where a chimney in Orange Park shows it, we check whether that face also has open joints or a leaking crown above it, since either would keep it wet. The staining is cleaned off gently, without harsh acid, and any repairs are made. After that, a breathable repellent can help the face dry out sooner after each rain. The cleaning, the repairs and the treatment are priced as three separate lines. Call (904) 920-5495 and our waterproofing pros will test your Orange Park brick for free.
Orange Park is on the St. Johns River. Counted as a direct line, Jacksonville and Orange Park are roughly 10 miles apart.

How It Works
From splash test to cured repellent in Orange Park
-
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
Openings first, repellent second in Orange Park
A repellent cannot seal a crack or a failed flashing. Water that comes in through the crown, the flue or the roof joint will keep coming whatever is sprayed on the brick.
On chimneys in Orange Park those openings are repaired first, and treatment comes last.

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.
Holding off while salts are still coming out
White efflorescence is a sign that water is still travelling through the masonry and depositing salt where it dries. BIA's position is that brickwork with a history of it should be coated only after the moisture source has been corrected, because salts that cannot reach the surface may crystallize just behind it and break the face. So the steps run in order: the deposit is brushed off dry, the water path is found and repaired, and the wall is watched for fresh deposits before any treatment is booked. If the white returns, the repair is not finished, and treatment waits.
The crown takes a different product
The crown is the concrete or mortar slab across the top of the stack, and its job is harder than the brick's. Even a correctly sloped crown is close to level, so rain lingers on it and ponds wherever it has settled or cracked.
A penetrating repellent made for walls is not designed for that exposure. A sound crown with fine cracks is sealed instead with an elastomeric crown coating, which cures into a flexible membrane and comes with its own application limits. A crown with wide cracks or loose pieces needs repair or recasting. Either way it is priced apart from the brick treatment.

FAQ
Waterproofing questions from Orange Park
Will waterproofing stop water coming into my fireplace?
Not if the water comes down the flue or through the crown. Those paths are closed with a cap or crown repair, and treatment of the brick faces comes afterward if it is still needed.
Is there anything to prepare before treatment day?
The roof work can go ahead without you. We do need nearby windows and skylights to be reachable for covering, and plants or cars close to the chimney may need moving.
