The chimney crown is really vital. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This safeguards your flue and chimney from rainfall and various other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or becomes damaged whatsoever, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause serious damage to the entire chimney if not fixed. When discovered early, standard repair services can be made to avoid issues from taking place.
If splitting in the chimney crown is minor, the cracks can be loaded with patch and a water-proof sealant can be applied on top. This will securely prevent water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is much 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 secure the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap secures your home in lots of ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace as well as prevents hot sparks as well as embers from flying out and into your roof. You must never run your fireplace or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are made of galvanized or stainless steel, 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.
Lots of people confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the inside of the chimney that smoke travels through. The damper is the portion of the chimney that closes off air flow to the outside. When a damper becomes old, it needs repair service. Generally fixing or changing the existing old metal damper can be costly.
It's better to mount a top sealing damper. They are less expensive, and every efficient. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts as well as unwanted weather outside. A substantial amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the exterior, making your residence feel cooler in the wintertime. This can quickly amount to hundreds of dollars annually in extra heating expenses.
There are times when a quick repair isn't a great option and a damaged chimney needs to be totally rebuilt. Our expert chimney experts can do chimney masonry repair work as well as complete chimney rebuilding.
