The chimney crown is extremely vital. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This protects your flue and also chimney from rainfall and other elements.

If breaking in the chimney crown is minor, the fractures can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealer can be applied on top. This will securely keep water from entering.
