The chimney crown is very vital. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This secures your flue as well as chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or becomes damaged whatsoever, it permits rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create serious damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When uncovered early, standard repair services can be made to avoid issues from happening.
If breaking in the chimney crown is minor, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be used on top. This will securely block water from entering.

This will protect the chimney for many more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and whole chimney to ensure all areas are safe.

Chimney caps are made of galvanized or stainless-steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service professionals can replace your chimney cap or mount a new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
