The chimney crown is extremely crucial. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This shields your flue and chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets fractures or comes to be damaged at all, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause severe damages to the whole chimney if not fixed. When discovered early, standard repair work can be made to prevent issues from happening.
If cracking in the chimney crown is minor, the fractures can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealant can be applied on top. This will safely block water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is a lot more extensive 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 only the crown. This will protect the chimney for a lot more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair inspect 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 specialists can replace your chimney cap or set up a brand-new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
