The chimney crown is really important. 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 gets cracks or ends up being damaged in any way, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can cause extreme damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When found early, standard repairs can be made to stop issues from happening.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is small, the cracks can be loaded with patch and a water-proof sealant can be applied on top. This will securely prevent water from getting in.
In situations where there is a lot more substantial damage to the crown, it might be necessary to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown. This will protect the chimney for many more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.

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