The chimney crown is really vital. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This protects your flue and chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets fractures or becomes damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create extreme damages to the entire chimney if not fixed. When uncovered early, standard repair work can be made to avoid issues from happening.
If splitting in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealer can be used on top. This will securely block water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it may be needed to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild just the crown. This will safeguard the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make certain all areas are safe.

Chimney caps are made of galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or install a brand-new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
