The chimney crown is really crucial. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This secures your flue and chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or comes to be damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause serious damages to the whole chimney if not fixed. When found early, standard repairs can be made to prevent issues from taking place.
If splitting in the chimney crown is small, the fractures can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be used on top. This will securely keep water from entering.
In circumstances where there is much more extensive damage to the crown, it might be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild just the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It is very important to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap shields your home in numerous ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and protects against hot sparks and also 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 made from galvanized or stainless-steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service professionals can replace your chimney cap or set up a new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.

It's better to mount a top sealing damper. They are less expensive, as well as every efficient. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts and undesirable weather outdoors. A significant amount of air movement can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your residence really feel cooler in the wintertime. This can quickly amount to hundreds of dollars per year in additional heating expenses.
