The Details Behind a Lasting Chimney Crown
Local crown repair pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every crown we seal or rebuild.
How high the flue tile should stand
In Brick Industry Association Technical Note 19B, the flue liner stands at least 2 inches proud of the top of the masonry cap. That gap keeps water on the crown away from the tile's open end and gives a chimney cap something solid to grip.
Older crowns sometimes bury the tile or leave it flush. When our pros rebuild one, the new crown is formed around the tile at a proper height where the tile allows it, and if the tile top is chipped or cracked, you hear about that before the forms go on.
Sealing hairline cracks with a crown coating
Fine surface cracks in a crown that is otherwise solid can often be sealed with a brushable crown coating. The product data for one crown sealer calls for a clean, sound and dry surface, asks for larger cracks to be filled before coating and sets a temperature range and a dry period for application.
Our pros follow those instructions to the letter, which means watching the forecast as closely as the crown. A coating is a good repair when the crown is sound. Over loose pieces or a crown that has lost its slope it is the wrong repair, and our team will say so before you spend anything.
How a crown rebuild day goes
A rebuild starts with roof protection and safe access. The old crown is broken out in pieces and lowered by hand. The top of the masonry is cleaned and repaired, forms are set with the overhang and drip built in, and the bond break goes around each flue before the new crown is placed and finished to its slope.
The fresh crown then needs time to cure, and our team explains any limit on using the fireplace while it does. Before leaving, they clean up, check the flue tiles and the cap and walk you through what was done.
Curing a new crown the right way
Fresh concrete gains strength as it cures, and the American Concrete Institute's curing guidance centers on keeping new concrete from drying too fast in its first days. Early rain on an unprotected surface can also mar the finish and the slope.
Our team protects a new crown from sun and rain as needed while it cures and tells you when the fireplace can go back into use. Rushing that step is how a new crown cracks early.
