The chimney crown is really vital. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This safeguards your flue and chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes fractures or comes to be damaged at all, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger extreme damages to the whole chimney if not repaired. When found early, basic repair services can be made to stop issues from occurring.
If breaking in the chimney crown is small, the fractures can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealant can be applied on top. This will safely prevent water from entering.
In situations where there is more extensive damage to the crown, it might be necessary to reconstruct 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 very important to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.

Chimney caps are made from galvanized or stainless-steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or mount a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
