The chimney crown is very vital. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your whole chimney. This secures your flue as well as chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or becomes damaged at all, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause severe damage to the entire chimney if not repaired. When uncovered early, standard repair work can be made to prevent issues from taking place.
If cracking 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 prevent water from entering.
In circumstances where there is more extensive damage to the crown, it may be needed to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild just the crown. This will safeguard the chimney for a lot more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and entire chimney to make certain all areas are safe.
A chimney cap safeguards your home in lots of ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and also prevents 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 made of galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or set up a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
Lots of 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 flow to the outside. When a damper becomes old, it requires repair. Normally repairing or replacing the existing old metal damper can be expensive.
It's far better to mount a top sealing damper. They are more economical, and every effective. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts and unwanted weather outdoors. A considerable amount of air movement can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your home feel cooler in the wintertime. This can quickly amount to hundreds of dollars per year in extra home heating expenses.
There are times when a fast repair work isn't a good option and a damaged chimney needs to be entirely rebuilt. Our expert chimney experts can do chimney masonry repair and total chimney rebuilding.
