The chimney crown is very vital. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This shields your flue and also chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes fractures or becomes damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract.

If breaking in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealant can be applied on top. This will safely block water from entering.
In scenarios where there is much more substantial damage to the crown, it might be needed to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown.
