The chimney crown is really important. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This protects your flue and chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or comes to be damaged at all, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create extreme damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When discovered early, basic repair work can be made to avoid issues from occurring.
If splitting in the chimney crown is small, the cracks can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealant can be applied on top. This will safely prevent water from entering.
In situations where there is much 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. This will secure the chimney for a lot more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make sure all areas are safe.

Chimney caps are made from galvanized or stainless-steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service professionals can replace your chimney cap or set up a brand-new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
