FAQ
What is a chimney crown rebuild and why is it necessary?
A chimney crown rebuild involves repairing the entire crown to prevent water from entering. It protects the chimney structure by sealing cracks and applying quality cement. This process extends the life of the entire chimney system and maintains its safety and efficiency.
How often should I schedule an annual chimney inspection?
Annual chimney inspections are essential to identify issues with your chimney early. Certified chimney technicians assess the masonry of the chimney, check for cracked crowns, and ensure all components like the flue and flashing are intact. Regular inspections help maintain a reliable and safe chimney.
How does sealing the chimney crown protect my home?
Sealing the chimney crown with a crown sealer prevents moisture from entering the chimney structure. This elastomeric coating designed for chimney crowns repels water, reducing damage to bricks and mortar. Proper sealing ensures the top of your chimney remains durable against harsh weather.
