The chimney crown is extremely crucial. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This shields your flue and also chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or becomes damaged at all, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract.
