The chimney crown is very vital. It functions as a protective concrete umbrella or rooftop for your entire chimney. This secures your flue and chimney from rain and other elements.
When the chimney crown gets fractures or ends up being damaged in any way, it enables rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create extreme damage to the whole chimney if not repaired. When found early, basic repairs can be made to prevent issues from happening.
If fracturing in the chimney crown is minor, the fractures can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will securely block water from entering.
In situations where there is more extensive 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. This will secure the chimney for a lot more years. It is necessary to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and whole chimney to make sure all areas are safe.
A chimney cap safeguards your home in many ways. It keeps rainfall, snow, and, dirt and animals out of your fire place as well as protects against hot sparks as well as embers from flying out and into your roofing. You must never run your fire place 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.
Many people confuse the chimney damper with the flue. The flue is the interior of the chimney that smoke journeys through. The damper is the component of the chimney that closes off air circulation to the outside. When a damper comes to be old, it needs fixing. Usually repairing or changing the existing old metal damper can be expensive.
It's far better to set up a top sealing damper. They are cheaper, as well as every efficient. A top sealing damper will keep cold drafts as well as undesirable weather outdoors. A significant amount of air flow can leak in through the chimney from the exterior, making your home really feel chillier in the winter. This can quickly amount to hundreds of dollars per year in added heating costs.
