The chimney crown is extremely important. It works as a protective concrete umbrella or roof for your whole chimney. This secures your flue and also chimney from rainfall and various other elements.
When the chimney crown develops fractures or becomes damaged in any way, it permits rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can trigger extreme damages to the entire chimney if not repaired. When found early, standard repair work can be made to prevent issues from occurring.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is minor, the fractures can be loaded with patch and a water-proof sealer can be applied on top. This will safely keep water from entering.
In scenarios where there is a lot more extensive damage to the crown, it might be needed to reconstruct it. If the chimney is still in good condition, then it's feasible to rebuild just the crown.

A chimney cap secures your home in several ways. It keeps rain, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fireplace and also protects against hot sparks as well as embers from flying out and into your roofing. You should never run your fire place or wood burning stove without a chimney cap.
Chimney caps are constructed from galvanized or stainless steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service specialists can replace your chimney cap or mount a new one on your chimney if you don't have one yet.
