The chimney crown is very vital. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This shields your flue as well as chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets cracks or comes to be damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create extreme damages to the entire chimney if not repaired. When found early, basic repairs can be made to avoid issues from taking place.
If splitting in the chimney crown is small, the fractures can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will safely block water from entering.
In circumstances where there is much more substantial damage to the crown, it might be needed to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild only the crown. This will secure the chimney for many more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap safeguards your home in many ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place as well as protects against hot sparks as well as 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 constructed from 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.
Many people confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the inside of the chimney that smoke travels through. The damper is the component of the chimney that closes off air circulation to the outside. When a damper comes to be old, it needs repair service. Generally fixing or replacing the existing old metal damper can be costly.
It's far better to install a top sealing damper. They are cheaper, and every efficient. 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 residence feel colder in the winter season. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars annually in added home heating expenses.
