The chimney crown is very crucial. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This secures your flue and chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or ends up being damaged whatsoever, it permits rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause extreme damages to the whole chimney if not repaired. When discovered early, standard repair work can be made to prevent issues from happening.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will safely keep water from entering.
In scenarios where there is more substantial damage to the crown, it may be necessary to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild just the crown. This will safeguard the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make sure all areas are safe.

Chimney caps are constructed from galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or mount a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
