The chimney crown protects the top of your chimney from water, cracking, and freeze-thaw damage. When it deteriorates, the entire structure is at risk.
Cracked crowns allow water into the bricks and mortar. This causes rapid deterioration, leaks inside the home, and costly structural issues if ignored.
Visible cracks on top
Water running down exterior bricks
Spalling or flaking masonry
Rusty streaks
Moisture inside fireplace
Clean and prep the crown
Fill cracks & seal with elastomeric waterproof coating
OR rebuild crown with reinforced concrete (if needed)
Install cap if missing
