The chimney crown is really vital. It serves as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your whole chimney. This shields your flue and chimney from rainfall and other elements.
When the chimney crown establishes cracks or ends up being damaged at all, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create serious damage to the entire chimney if not repaired. When uncovered early, standard repair work can be made to avoid issues from occurring.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the fractures can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will securely prevent water from getting in.
In scenarios where there is much 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 protect the chimney for many more years. It is essential to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make sure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap shields your home in several ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place and also prevents hot sparks and also embers from flying out and into your roof. You should never run your fireplace or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are constructed from galvanized or stainless steel, 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.
