Willow Grove, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/23/2015 -- As the greater Philadelphia area experiences a drop in temperatures, as well as increased precipitation from snow and rain, the chimney is left vulnerable. The leading cause of damage to chimneys is water penetration. To help keep the home safe and avoid leaks from the chimney, Gannon Chimney Repair Inc. is announcing their services for chimney waterproofing this winter season.

Waterproofing is a task that when done correctly will avoid expensive repairs down the road, and increases the life span of the chimney. Before their waterproofing in Philadelphia, it is important to make sure the structure is thoroughly cleaned to eliminate any creosote stains, mold buildup, soot, and animals that have taken shelter in the chimney.

Before a waterproofing service, all chimney repairs must be made. When the chimney is in poor condition, the threat of damage is greatly increased. Leaks cause the masonry, brick, stucco, or stone to deteriorate and pose the threat of fire damage as conditions worsen. Parts of the chimney that experience the most damage due to leaks include the damper, flue, and flashing. The professionals at Gannon Chimney Repair Inc. utilize the highest quality of materials to ensure the chimney is safe from water damage for years to come.

When needing service for waterproofing in Bucks County and the greater Philadelphia area, contact Gannon Chimney Repair Inc. for a free estimate. Their professionals will travel to the home and evaluate the elements and condition of the chimney to make an accurate estimate. Waterproofing prevents water from entering the chimney and seeping into the home.

If larger repairs are needed, the experienced professionals specialize in masonry restoration and rebuilding, as well. Contact 215-310-0223 for a free estimate and get the project started to restore the home.
