Chimney Crown Repair and Replacement

The concrete slab at the top of your chimney is its first line of defense against rain and snow. We expertly repair cracks in the crown to stop water absorption. If the crown is severely deteriorated, we can rebuild it to ensure it effectively sheds water for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Issues

Why are the faces of my chimney’s bricks flaking off?

This condition is called spalling. It’s a common problem in our climate and is caused by moisture getting into the brick. When that moisture freezes in the winter, it expands and literally pops the front face of the brick off. It’s a clear sign that your chimney is absorbing too much water and is in need of repair and sealing.

What is the most common cause of a chimney leak?

While any part of the chimney can fail, the single most common cause of a chimney leak is the metal flashing system where the chimney meets the roof. This is why it’s so important to have an experienced roofer, not just a mason, inspect the problem. As the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) explains, this intersection is a critical point that must be perfectly sealed.

Is it okay to just put some caulk or tar on a crack to fix it?

We strongly advise against this. Applying a surface sealant like tar or caulk is only a temporary patch that can fail in a single season. Worse, it often traps moisture underneath, which can accelerate the deterioration of the brick and mortar and lead to a much more expensive repair in the future. A professional repair addresses the underlying problem for a long-term solution.
