Stucco Waterproofing Coatings are applied onto the surface of chimneys for various reasons. A fresh new different cleaner look is sometimes the motive, converting a chimney with a traditional brick look into a chimney with a more uniform stucco look, in which, comes in a variety of colors. Another more common reason Stucco Waterproofing Coatings are applied, although, is an alternative to undergoing masonry pointing or the re-grouting of the brick chimneys masonry joints when prolonged weather damage has occurred. Informatively, brick type masonry chimneys weaken, deteriorate, then fail and crumble throughout the years caused by water molecules entering the pours of the bricks and masonry, then freezing overnight during the cold winter months and slowly prying open and loosening the mortar joints, which then allows more rain water to enter and causes an escalating deterioration effect. Stucco Coatings are then used, often reinforced with a membrane adding strength and durability, thus producing waterproof conditions throughout.
