The chimney crown is very crucial. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your whole chimney. This safeguards your flue and also chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown develops cracks or becomes damaged whatsoever, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause extreme damage to the entire chimney if not repaired. When found early, standard repairs can be made to avoid issues from occurring.
If splitting in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealant can be applied on top. This will securely keep water from getting in.
In situations where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it might be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It is essential 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 many ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace as well as prevents hot sparks and embers from flying out and into your roofing. 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 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 inside of the chimney that smoke journeys through. The damper is the part of the chimney that shuts off air flow to the exterior.

A significant amount of air movement can leak in through the chimney from the exterior, making your home feel chillier in the winter season. This can easily add up to hundreds of dollars per year in added home heating costs.
