If cracking in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealer can be used on top. This will safely block water from entering.
In scenarios where there is much more extensive damage to the crown, it may be needed to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown.
