The crown is the concrete slab at the top of the chimney that directs water away from the flue. Over time, freezing and thawing cycles cause it to crack, which allows water to seep into the brickwork. Repair companies specialize in applying flexible, waterproof sealants or pouring a new crown to stop leaks. This is vital for preventing expensive water damage to the interior of the chimney stack. It is a common maintenance task for older homes.
Summer is the quietest time for chimney work, making it the perfect opportunity to schedule repairs without the seasonal rush. Technicians have more flexibility to handle masonry work, cap installations, or flue liner replacements. Getting your maintenance done while the weather is dry ensures you are ready the moment the first chilly night arrives.
The cost can vary depending on the extent of the damage and the materials needed. Factors like the size of the crown and whether it requires patching or a complete rebuild will influence the price. A licensed pro can give you an accurate quote after assessing the crown's condition. You can get this information with a quick call.
Generally, homeowners insurance covers sudden and accidental damage, like from a storm. Wear and tear or neglect, however, usually isn't. It's best to check your specific policy details and ask the pros when you call. They can often offer advice on how to approach your insurance provider.
This rule relates to the clearance needed around a chimney. The chimney should extend at least three feet above the roof penetration and two feet higher than any part of the house within a ten-foot radius. This helps prevent fire hazards.
