The chimney crown is extremely vital. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your whole chimney. This secures your flue and chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown gets fractures or comes to be damaged whatsoever, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create severe damages to the entire chimney if not repaired. When discovered early, basic repair services can be made to prevent issues from happening.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will securely prevent water from getting in.
In situations where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it might be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown. This will secure the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and whole chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap shields your home in several ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace as well as 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 of galvanized or stainless-steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or mount a brand-new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.

A considerable amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the exterior, making your residence feel colder in the wintertime. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars annually in added home heating expenses.
