Waterproofing
Porous brick soaks up water like a sponge. A breathable sealer stops that — and the freeze-thaw damage that follows.

Homeowners across Brentwood lean on their chimneys and fireplaces every heating season, and steady use means steady maintenance. We serve Brentwood and the surrounding South Hills with the full range of chimney and fireplace care.
Because Brentwood is part of Allegheny County, its homes carry the particular mix of ages and styles that county is known for — closely set older homes typical of Pittsburgh's inner South Hills boroughs. Brentwood's older brick homes and their original chimneys are classic candidates for masonry repair and waterproofing. That context shapes how we approach every chimney here: we read the home first, then recommend what it actually needs.
For Brentwood homeowners, the enemy is almost always moisture and the freeze-thaw cycle that follows it. A small crack left alone in the fall can grow all winter. That's why we focus on finding and stopping water intrusion before it compounds into structural damage.
We also serve neighboring Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Bethel Park and many more across South Hills. Wherever you are in the Greater Pittsburgh area, Roosevelt Chimney Works can help.
Helping Brentwood homeowners usually starts with a question — a smell, a stain, a sweep that's overdue — and ends with a chimney that's safe and sound. In between, we diagnose the real problem, show you the evidence, and fix the cause rather than the symptom.
Whatever your Brentwood chimney needs, it likely starts here. Explore any service below.
