The chimney crown is really crucial. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This shields your flue and chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or comes to be damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create serious damages to the whole chimney if not fixed. When found early, standard repair work can be made to avoid issues from taking place.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealant can be used on top. This will safely block water from entering.
In circumstances where there is a lot more extensive damage to the crown, it might be needed to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will secure the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and entire chimney to make sure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap safeguards your home in many ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and prevents hot sparks and 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 of galvanized or stainless steel, 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.
