The chimney crown is extremely important. It acts as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your whole chimney. This secures your flue and chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or comes to be damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create serious damages to the entire chimney if not repaired. When discovered early, basic repairs can be made to prevent issues from happening.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be loaded with patch and a water-proof sealer can be applied on top. This will safely block water from entering.
In scenarios where there is a lot more extensive damage to the crown, it might be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will secure the chimney for many more years. It is essential to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and entire chimney to make sure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap safeguards your home in several ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and prevents hot sparks and also embers from flying out and into your roofing. You should never run your fireplace or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are constructed from galvanized or stainless-steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service professionals can replace your chimney cap or mount a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.

A substantial amount of air flow can leak in via the chimney from the outside, making your house really feel colder in the winter. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars each year in added heating costs.
