The chimney crown is very important. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This secures your flue and also chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets cracks or ends up being damaged whatsoever, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause extreme damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When found early, standard repair services can be made to stop issues from taking place.
If splitting in the chimney crown is minor, the cracks can be filled with patch and a water-proof sealant can be used on top. This will securely prevent water from entering.
In circumstances where there is more substantial 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 just the crown.
