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 differ based on the size of the crown and the extent of the damage. Minor repairs, like patching small cracks, will be less than a full rebuild. A licensed pro can give you an accurate quote after assessing the crown's condition. Call for a free estimate to find out.
