The chimney crown is extremely vital. It acts as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This protects your flue as well as chimney from rainfall and various other elements.
When the chimney crown gets cracks or ends up being damaged whatsoever, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create severe damages to the whole chimney if not repaired. When found early, basic repairs can be made to stop issues from occurring.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will securely block water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is 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.

A chimney cap protects your home in lots of ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and prevents 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, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service specialists can replace your chimney cap or mount a brand-new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
