Chimney Crown Repair That Starts on the Roof
A resealed joint or a new crown, our pros do the repair your chimney top calls for.
Flashing under the crown on some chimneys
Some chimney designs place a sheet-metal flashing directly under the crown, running beyond the inner face of the brick and bent up against the flue liner, so any water that gets through the crown is turned out of the chimney. Brick Industry Association flashing guidance shows this detail, and under a cast-in-place crown the flashing can also act as the bond break.
When a crown is rebuilt, our pros look at whether this layer is present and whether adding it suits your chimney. It is one of those hidden details that never shows once the crown is cast, which is why it is decided before the forms go up.
What the crown estimate shows
Your written estimate names the repair, whether sealing, patching or a new crown, and lists the related items on their own lines, such as the flue joints, the top brick courses, the cap and any flashing. If both sealing and rebuilding could work, both are priced.
There are no hidden fees, nothing is added without your approval, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee covers the work. Any open flue is covered at the end of each work day, and the debris is hauled away.
Crown pieces that fall into the flue
When a crown breaks up, some pieces fall outward onto the roof and some fall into the flue, landing on the smoke shelf or the damper below.
Our pros check the flue from the top for fallen debris during crown work and clear what they find, so the fireplace below is not left with a blocked passage. If the flue needs a full sweep, that is priced separately.
Crowns on chimneys you rarely use
A chimney that is never lit still takes every storm on its crown. Water getting through a cracked crown damages the masonry whether or not there is ever a fire below.
Our pros treat an unused chimney's crown the same as any other. If you have no plans to use the fireplace, they can also talk through the options for the top of the chimney, with a written price for each.
