The Details Behind a Lasting Chimney Crown
Our crown specialists build in slope, overhang and a drip edge, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Crown work and rain in the forecast
Crown coatings and patch materials need time to cure before rain reaches them. Product data for crown sealers sets a temperature window and a period with no rain, and a summer afternoon storm can wash out work that was rushed.
Our team schedules crown sealing for a dry window and protects fresh work when the weather turns. If a storm pushes the job back a day, you hear about it from us first. The goal is a coating that bonds and holds, and the schedule serves that goal.
Crown and cap, two different jobs
The crown is the masonry top, and the cap is the metal cover over the flue. People use the words loosely, and the building code even calls the crown a cap. The crown sheds water off the chimney top, while the cap keeps rain, animals and sparks out of the flue itself.
A new cap cannot repair a cracked crown, and a new crown does nothing to keep birds out of the flue. Our pros check both on the same visit in Sulphur Springs, explain what each needs and price them separately so you can choose.
Thickness and shape of a new crown
A crown needs enough thickness to hold its reinforcement and resist cracking at the edge, and a shape that slopes from the flue out to the overhang. Brick Industry Association guidance warns against thin, feathered edges, which break away first.
Our pros set the forms for a crown that keeps its thickness to the edge and carries the overhang past the brick below. The exact dimensions depend on your chimney's size and flue layout, and they are shown in the estimate.
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.
