How a Cracked Crown Gets Fixed in Fish Hawk
Our crown specialists build in slope, overhang and a drip edge, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Filling wider cracks before anything goes on top
Cracks wider than a hairline are filled or repaired before a crown coating goes on, as crown sealer product data directs. Loose edges are cut back to sound material, and any piece that moves under a hand is removed instead of being glued in place.
Our pros show you the cracks that set the scope and explain which ones a patch can handle and which point to a crown that has reached the end of its life. That judgment is part of the free inspection, and you decide which path to take.
Getting the crown ready for storm season
Each Atlantic hurricane season, from June 1 until November 30, pushes wind-driven rain into any crack at the top of a chimney. A crown that is already cracked or loose at the edge sits right in the path of that weather.
Booking crown work before the season leaves time for materials to cure in dry weather. After a storm, a look from the yard for new cracks or missing pieces is worth a minute, and our team can check anything that looks different.
Crowns on stucco-covered chimneys
On a masonry chimney finished in stucco, the crown also protects the top edge of the stucco. When the crown leaks or its overhang is too short, water gets behind the stucco at the top and shows up lower down as cracks, stains or hollow spots.
Our pros look at how the crown meets the stucco before planning the repair, so the new crown's overhang and drip keep water off that top edge. Any stucco damage found is quoted separately, and the two jobs are sequenced so the stucco is closed after the crown is done.
Steel inside a crown and the concrete around it
Reinforcing steel in a cast crown controls cracking, and Brick Industry Association guidance places more of it in the overhang. The steel helps only while it stays protected inside the concrete. The American Concrete Institute's building code sets durability requirements for concrete exposed to chlorides, because chlorides that reach steel make it rust and expand.
Our pros keep the steel well inside the concrete, use a dense mix suited to the exposure and seal the finished top once it has cured. On an old crown, rust stains or cracks that run in a straight line can point to steel that has already started to corrode.
