The chimney crown is really crucial. It acts as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This protects your flue and also chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes fractures or ends up being damaged in any way, it permits rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause serious damages to the entire chimney if not fixed. When uncovered early, standard repair services can be made to stop issues from occurring.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealant can be applied on top. This will securely prevent water from entering.
In scenarios where there is much more substantial damage to the crown, it may be necessary to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will safeguard the chimney for a lot more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make sure all areas are safe.

Chimney caps are constructed from 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 don't have one yet.
