The chimney crown is very important. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your whole chimney. This shields your flue and chimney from rainfall and various other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes fractures or becomes damaged at all, it permits rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause extreme damages to the whole chimney if not fixed. When uncovered early, standard repair services can be made to prevent issues from taking place.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will safely block water from getting in.
In circumstances where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it may be needed to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild just the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It is very important to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make certain 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 as well as 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 from galvanized or stainless-steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service specialists can replace your chimney cap or install a brand-new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.

A considerable amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your residence feel chillier in the winter season. This can easily amount to hundreds of dollars per year in extra home heating expenses.
