Guide To Chimney Crown Repairs

One of the most important parts of your chimney is your chimney crown. It protects your chimney from water damage and stops water from seeping into your home. The chimney crown is the very top part of the chimney and is rarely visible from the ground. Just because you can’t see it, doesn’t mean you can neglect it! 

So What Exactly Is A Chimney Crown?

The crown is the very top part of your chimney. It prevents moisture from getting into your home. Most crowns are made of cement. Bricks and mortar absorb water, allowing moisture into the pores and causing cracks. Cement is used on the crown to avoid this. A well-maintained chimney crown is an important part of the function of your fireplace. Cracks are still possible and should be checked for regularly during your annual chimney inspection.  

It is important to have regular maintenance on your chimney crown as well as your entire chimney. This is an intricate part of keeping your entire chimney in good working condition.
