Chimney Waterproofing Services Market Report 2025

The chimney waterproofing services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.53 billion in 2024 to $1.67 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. During the historic period, growth can be attributed to aging residential infrastructure, heightened homeowner awareness of water damage, an increase in chimney-related maintenance requests, expansion of brick-and-mortar housing, and the effects of the seasonal freeze-thaw cycle.

The chimney waterproofing services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.32 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the forecast period is driven by the rising adoption of artificial intelligence-powered location services, demand for real-time location analytics, expansion of smart city projects, increasing need for automation in public infrastructure, and the integration of ambient intelligence in healthcare monitoring. Key trends during the forecast period include the adoption of drone-based inspection technologies, innovations in eco-friendly waterproofing materials, integration of chimney waterproofing with digital service platforms, development of breathable masonry sealants, and advancements in moisture detection sensors.

The rising home renovation activities are expected to drive the growth of the chimney waterproofing service market moving forward. Home renovation activities involve the increasing number and scale of home improvement and remodeling projects undertaken by homeowners to modernize or restore their properties. These activities are growing due to more time spent at home, prompting homeowners to enhance comfort and functionality. Renovations often expose chimney vulnerabilities during roofing, masonry, or heating upgrades, leading homeowners to seek waterproofing solutions. This prevents moisture damage and protects the durability of the renovated structure. For example, in January 2023, the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, a US-based research center specializing in housing and urban development, projected national spending on remodeling and repairs for owner-occupied homes to reach $485 billion in 2023, a 2.6% increase from the previous year. Thus, rising home renovation activities are contributing to the growth of the chimney waterproofing service market.

The increase in existing-home sales is anticipated to support the growth of the chimney waterproofing services market in the coming years. Existing-home sales refer to the purchase of previously owned residential properties, such as single-family homes, condominiums, and townhomes. These sales are rising due to improving economic conditions and lower mortgage rates, encouraging more individuals and families to invest in older housing units. Chimney waterproofing enhances the durability and appearance of older homes, making them more attractive to potential buyers. It helps prevent water-related problems, reducing future repair expenses and boosting property value in the existing-home sales market. For instance, in June 2025, the National Association of Realtors, a US-based trade association representing the real estate industry, reported that total existing-home sales reached 4.29 million in 2024, up from 3.91 million in 2023. Therefore, growth in existing-home sales is driving the chimney waterproofing services market.

The increasing preferences for green buildings are expected to propel the growth of the chimney waterproofing services market going forward. Green buildings are designed to lessen environmental impact through energy-efficient materials, sustainable construction practices, and reduced resource consumption. The rise in green building preferences is driven by stricter eco-friendly building codes, as governments and developers emphasize long-term environmental responsibility. Chimney waterproofing supports green building objectives by enhancing energy efficiency and minimizing moisture damage, which decreases the need for frequent repairs. The application of environmentally friendly, breathable sealants aligns with sustainable construction methods. For example, in July 2024, the Green Building Council, a US-based non-profit organization, noted that over 46,000 residential projects earned Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building certification, marking nearly a 5% increase in new registrations compared to 2023. Thus, the growing preference for green buildings is contributing to the expansion of the chimney waterproofing services market.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s recommendations and conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting operations. Higher costs for imported technology, office equipment, and essential digital infrastructure have raised operating expenses for service providers, forcing them to either pass on costs to clients or absorb margin pressures. Outsourcing firms and IT service companies are also facing challenges due to increased costs of hardware components and delayed global supply chains, affecting project delivery timelines and profitability. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have dampened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key international markets, leading to a slowdown in export-driven revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize digital transformation, cost optimization, and expanding domestic client bases to sustain growth and maintain competitiveness amid ongoing trade uncertainty.
