The chimney crown is extremely crucial. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This safeguards your flue and chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets cracks or becomes damaged at all, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause severe damages to the entire chimney if not repaired. When uncovered early, standard repairs can be made to avoid issues from happening.
