The most appropriate method is selected based on the unique requirements of each project.
How long does waterproofing last?
The longevity of waterproofing can vary significantly. When properly applied using high-quality materials, waterproofing solutions can remain effective for 5 to 15 years or more. However, the actual duration depends on factors such as usage patterns, environmental exposure, and regular maintenance.

Is a cracked chimney dangerous?
A cracked chimney poses significant risks. It can allow heat, smoke, and carbon monoxide to escape into your living space or come into contact with flammable materials nearby. This increases the potential for fire hazards and health risks associated with harmful gas exposure.
What causes chimney damage?
Chimney damage can result from various factors. Common causes include prolonged exposure to harsh weather, moisture infiltration, repeated freeze-thaw cycles, natural aging of materials, substandard construction practices, or insufficient regular maintenance.
