The chimney crown is really important. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This protects your flue and also chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets cracks or ends up being damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger serious damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When discovered early, standard repairs can be made to avoid issues from taking place.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the cracks can be loaded with patch and a water-proof sealant can be applied on top. This will securely prevent water from entering.
In scenarios where there is much more extensive damage to the crown, it might be necessary to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown.

A chimney cap secures your home in lots of ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and also prevents hot sparks as well as embers from flying out and into your roofing. You must never run your fireplace or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are constructed from galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or install a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
