The chimney crown is very important. It acts as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This shields your flue and chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes fractures or ends up being damaged at all, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger extreme damages to the whole chimney if not fixed. When found early, standard repair work can be made to prevent issues from happening.

Chimney caps are made of galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service specialists can replace your chimney cap or mount a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
