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 Newport News

What is the average cost to repair a chimney crown?

Is chimney repair covered under homeowners insurance?

In Virginia, homeowners insurance may cover chimney repairs if the damage was caused by a sudden and accidental event, like strong winds or a fallen branch. Damage due to age, neglect, or normal wear and tear is typically not covered. Review your policy for details.

What is the 3 to 10 rule for chimneys?

The 3 to 10 rule for chimneys means the chimney should be at least 10 feet tall from the point it emerges from the roof and at least 3 feet taller than any part of the roof within a 10-foot radius. This ensures proper drafting and prevents smoke from entering the house.

Can a handyman repair a chimney crown?

While a handyman might be able to perform minor repairs, chimney crown repair is a specialized job that requires specific knowledge and materials. Licensed chimney professionals have the expertise to ensure a proper, lasting repair that prevents further water damage to your chimney.
