Chimney Crown Repair
The crown is the concrete slab at the very top of your chimney. When it cracks, water pours into the masonry below — so a small crown repair now prevents a major rebuild later.
Why the crown matters
A sound, properly sloped crown sheds rain and snow away from the flue and brick. Hairline cracks can be sealed; a badly deteriorated crown is rebuilt so it protects the chimney for decades.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between a chimney crown and a chimney cap?
- The crown is the concrete slab that covers the top of the masonry, while the cap is the metal cover over the flue opening that keeps out rain and animals. Many chimneys need both to stay watertight.
