Professional Brick Sealant Services in Metro Detroit

What Are Brick Sealants?

Moisture is a leading cause of brick damage and deterioration. Bricks are naturally porous and can absorb significant amounts of water from the environment. In cold climates like Metro Detroit, this moisture can freeze and expand, causing bricks to crack, split, or spall.

Brick sealants repel water while allowing bricks to breathe naturally. This enables trapped moisture to evaporate and prevents rain or condensation from causing future damage.

Types of Brick Sealant:

There are several types of brick sealants, each designed for different applications and levels of protection. These sealants help protect the surface and restore the brick’s original appearance. At Brickrepair Property Restoration, we work with the following options:

Siloxane:

Siloxane is ideal for brick, concrete, and other masonry surfaces. It penetrates deeply into the brick, reacting with the silica and alumina beneath the surface to create a durable, weather-resistant seal.

Chimney Saver:

Designed for chimneys and other brickwork that requires vapor permeability, Chimney Saver uses a proprietary polysiloxane that allows moisture and combustion vapors to escape while shielding the brick from rain, snow, and condensation. This sealant chemically bonds with the brick surface for long-lasting protection and outperforms alternatives such as silicone, resins, or acrylics.
