The chimney crown is really important. It acts as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This secures your flue and also chimney from rainfall and various other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or ends up being damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger extreme damages to the whole chimney if not fixed. When discovered early, basic repair services can be made to stop issues from taking place.
If breaking in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealant can be used on top. This will securely keep water from getting in.
In circumstances where there is a lot more extensive damage to the crown, it may be needed to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make certain all areas are safe.
A chimney cap secures your home in many ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and protects against 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 specialists can replace your chimney cap or install a brand-new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.

Normally repairing or changing the existing old metal damper can be expensive.
It's much better to mount a top sealing damper. They are less expensive, as well as every effective. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts as well as undesirable weather outside. A significant amount of air movement can leak in via the chimney from the exterior, making your house really feel colder in the winter season. This can quickly add up to hundreds of dollars annually in additional heating expenses.
