The chimney flue is the internal shaft that vents smoke and also gases which are produced by burning a fire in the fire place.

The chimney crown is really important. It acts 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 establishes fractures or ends up being damaged at all, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger extreme damages to the entire chimney if not repaired. When found early, standard repair services can be made to prevent issues from occurring.
If splitting 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 keep water from entering.
In scenarios where there is much more substantial damage to the crown, it might be needed to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible 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 entire chimney to make sure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap protects your home in several ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and protects against hot sparks as well as 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 specialists can replace your chimney cap or set up a brand-new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
Many people confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the interior of the chimney that smoke journeys through. The damper is the part of the chimney that closes off air circulation to the exterior. When a damper becomes old, it needs fixing. Typically repairing or replacing the existing old metal damper can be expensive.
It's much better to mount a top sealing damper. They are cheaper, and every effective. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts as well as unwanted weather outdoors. A considerable amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your home really feel chillier in the wintertime. This can quickly add up to hundreds of dollars annually in added heating costs.
There are times when a fast repair isn't a good option and a damaged chimney needs to be completely rebuilt. Our expert chimney experts can do chimney masonry repair work and also total chimney rebuilding.

Fractured or loosened bricks can also be repaired.
