The chimney crown is really important. It acts 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 develops cracks or becomes damaged in any way, it permits rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger severe damage to the entire chimney if not repaired. When found early, standard repairs can be made to prevent issues from occurring.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the cracks can be loaded with patch and a waterproof sealant can be used on top. This will safely keep water from entering.
In scenarios where there is much more substantial damage to the crown, it may be necessary to rebuild it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's possible to rebuild only the crown.

A chimney cap safeguards your home in several ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and also prevents hot sparks and 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 made from galvanized or stainless-steel, aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or set up a brand-new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
