The chimney crown is really important. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your whole chimney. This safeguards your flue and also chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes fractures or becomes damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger severe damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When found early, basic repair work can be made to prevent issues from occurring.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealer can be used on top. This will safely block water from getting in.
In circumstances where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it may be needed to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild just the crown. This will safeguard the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap protects your home in many ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and prevents hot sparks and 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 from galvanized or stainless-steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service professionals can replace your chimney cap or set up a new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.

A considerable amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the exterior, making your home feel cooler in the wintertime.
