The chimney crown is extremely crucial. It acts 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 gets cracks or ends up being damaged in any way, it allows rain water seep through the chimney and expand and contract. This can create serious damage to the whole chimney if not fixed. When uncovered early, standard repair services can be made to prevent issues from taking place.
If cracking in the chimney crown is small, the cracks can be filled with patch and a waterproof sealer can be applied on top. This will securely prevent water from entering.
In scenarios where there is much more substantial 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. This will secure the chimney for many more years. It is very important to have a professional chimney repair examine the crown, flue, and entire chimney to ensure all areas are safe.

Chimney caps are made of galvanized or stainless-steel, light weight aluminum, or copper. Our chimney service technicians can replace your chimney cap or mount a new one on your chimney if you do not have one yet.
