How a Cracked Crown Gets Fixed in Sun City Center
Our crown specialists build in slope, overhang and a drip edge, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
When the crown has to be replaced
A crown gets replaced when it is broken through, has lost chunks at the edge, has separated from the brick or was never more than a thin wash. The old crown is removed down to sound masonry, the top course of brick is checked and repaired, and a new crown is formed with slope, overhang, a drip edge and a bond break at every flue.
Brick Industry Association guidance favors reinforcement in a cast crown to control shrinkage and thermal cracking, with more steel in the overhang, and it warns against feathering the edge thin. Our specialists build to those details, and you see the crown design in the estimate before work starts.
Precast crowns as an option
A crown does not have to be cast on the roof. Brick Industry Association Technical Note 19B reports that precast chimney caps generally perform better than cast-in-place ones, and it describes setting them on a mortar bed with a bond break between the brickwork and the setting bed. A precast crown is made at ground level, cured properly and lifted into place.
Precast does not suit every chimney. Odd shapes, several flues or tight roof access can make casting in place the practical choice. Our pros tell you which method suits your chimney and why, with a price for each where both are possible.
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.
Protecting tile, shingle and metal roofs during crown work
Clay and concrete roof tiles can crack under weight, metal panels can dent and shingles can scuff in the heat, and crown work puts people and debris right above them. Our team plans roof protection around the roofing you have.
If your roof needs special care, tell us when you book, and the crown visit is planned with the right access and protection. The goal is a sound crown and a roof left the way it was found.
