About this service

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.

Frequently asked in Lexington-Fayette

What is the average cost to repair a chimney?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

In Lexington-Fayette, homeowners insurance typically covers chimney damage caused by sudden and accidental events, such as fires or severe storms. Damage that results from normal wear and tear or lack of maintenance is generally not covered. It's always a good idea to review your specific policy or contact your insurance provider for clarification on your coverage.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The '3 to 10 rule' for chimneys is a safety standard concerning height clearances. It dictates that the chimney should extend at least 3 feet above the roof penetration and be at least 2 feet taller than any part of the building within a 10-foot radius. This helps ensure proper draft and reduces fire risks.
