The chimney crown is extremely crucial. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This protects your flue as well as chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or comes to be damaged in any way, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger serious damages to the whole chimney if not fixed. When found early, basic repair work can be made to avoid issues from taking place.
If breaking in the chimney crown is small, the cracks can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealant can be applied on top. This will safely block water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is a lot more substantial damage to the crown, it may be necessary to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and whole chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap shields your home in numerous ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and protects against hot sparks and embers from flying out and into your roof. You should never run your fire place or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are made of galvanized or stainless steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service professionals can replace your chimney cap or install a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
Lots of people confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the interior of the chimney that smoke journeys through.

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