The chimney crown is extremely important. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This safeguards your flue and chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets cracks or ends up being damaged in any way, it permits rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause extreme damages to the entire chimney if not fixed. When discovered early, standard repair work can be made to prevent issues from occurring.
If splitting in the chimney crown is minor, the fractures can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealant can be used on top. This will securely keep water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is much more substantial damage to the crown, it may be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will protect the chimney for a lot more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make sure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap protects your home in numerous ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and also prevents hot sparks and embers from flying out and into your roofing. 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 mount a brand-new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.

It's much better to mount a top sealing damper. They are cheaper, as well as every efficient. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts and undesirable weather outside. A considerable amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your residence really feel cooler in the winter. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars per year in added home heating expenses.
