The chimney crown is extremely crucial. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This safeguards your flue as well as chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or comes to be damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create extreme damages to the entire chimney if not repaired. When found early, standard repair work can be made to prevent issues from occurring.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is small, the fractures can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealer can be used on top. This will safely keep water from getting in.
In situations where there is much more extensive damage to the crown, it might be needed to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild only the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It is very important to have a professional chimney repair check the crown, flue, and entire chimney to make certain all areas are safe.
A chimney cap shields your home in several ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and prevents hot sparks and also embers from flying out and into your roofing. You should never run your fireplace or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are constructed from galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or install a brand-new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
