The chimney crown is very crucial. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This safeguards your flue and also chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or comes to be damaged at all, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create extreme damages to the whole chimney if not fixed. When uncovered early, standard repair services can be made to stop issues from happening.
If splitting in the chimney crown is minor, the cracks can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealer can be used on top. This will safely block water from entering.
In situations where there is much more substantial damage to the crown, it may be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and whole chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap shields your home in several ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and also protects against hot sparks and embers from flying out and into your roof. You should 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 mount a new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
