The chimney crown is very vital. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This shields your flue and chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes fractures or ends up being damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause serious damages to the entire chimney if not fixed. When found early, basic repair work can be made to prevent issues from occurring.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will safely prevent water from getting in.
In situations where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it might be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown.

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