The chimney crown is really important. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your whole chimney. This secures your flue as well as chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or becomes damaged at all, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create extreme damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When found early, standard repair services can be made to stop issues from taking place.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is small, the splits can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealant can be used on top. This will securely block water from getting in.
In circumstances where there is more extensive damage to the crown, it may be needed to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild just the crown. This will secure the chimney for a lot more years. It's important to have a professional chimney repair inspect the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make certain all areas are safe.
A chimney cap protects your home in several ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and prevents hot sparks and embers from flying out and into your roofing. You must never run your fireplace or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
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 new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.

A substantial amount of airflow can leak in through the chimney from the outside, making your home feel colder in the wintertime. This can quickly add up to hundreds of dollars annually in added home heating expenses.
