Keep Your Chimney Protected & Free Of Water With Professional Crown Repair Services
Most homeowners don’t spend much time thinking about the cement slab that sits at the top of their chimney stack – and to be fair, you shouldn’t have to. If your crown was properly constructed and is maintained and inspected on an annual basis, you shouldn’t have to worry about whether your crown is doing its job of keeping moisture out of your chimney. But what is there to worry about?
Because the crown of the chimney is constantly fighting off the elements, moisture, sun, and freeze/thaw cycles can cause any crown to crack and crumble over time – and this is especially true for crowns that weren’t built up to snuff. Naturally, if the crown is cracking or crumbling, it won’t be able to effectively keep moisture from entering the chimney system and causing damage.
