The chimney crown is extremely crucial. It acts as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your entire chimney. This safeguards your flue and chimney from rain and various other elements.
When the chimney crown gets fractures or comes to be damaged in any way, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create serious damages to the entire chimney if not repaired. When found early, standard repair services can be made to prevent issues from happening.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be used on top. This will securely block water from getting in.

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