Chimney Crown Repair Services

The chimney crown acts as a protector for the chimney, creating a barrier against rain, snow, stray animals and leaves from entering the chimney. If your chimney crown is damaged, let us repair it.

Professional and Budget-Friendly Chimney Crown Repair

The chimney crown is a slab of cement or concrete, located at the roof, on top of the chimney stack, protecting the area around the flue tile from weather damage and moisture intrusion. Over time, environmental exposure can cause small cracks in the crown, which may extend the damage to other parts of the chimney, like the flue liner, flashing, and cap.

At Bob’s Chimney, we use time-tested solutions for repairing damaged chimney crowns. We use only the highest quality materials, like polymer modified hydraulic cements, brushable crown sealers, and elastomeric coatings. This allows us to make the crown as durable as possible, ensuring that it protects your chimney flue from damage for many years.

Should You Repair or Replace the Entire Crown?

It comes down to how damaged your chimney crown is. If there’s only localized damage, like minor cracks in the crown, or surface erosion at specific sections like where the chimney meets the roof, a repair would be sufficient. Our chimney repair experts know how to seal in the gaps effectively by using high-quality coatings that last a long time. But if there’s major cracks in the crown or there’s large chunks of missing concrete, a full replacement is what you’d want to consider. In either case, our professionals are available to restore the structural integrity of your chimney.

We Repair All Categories of Masonry Chimney Crowns

01

Brick Chimney Crown Repair

These chimney crowns are made of layers. Multiple brick layers are stacked and sealed with mortar on the top. We fix brick and mortar joints that have been weakened because of water or weather damage.

02

Concrete Crown Repair

Concrete crowns are naturally durable, but everyday wear and tear can gradually damage their structure. Whether your concrete crown needs minor sealing or a full replacement, we’re here to do it.

03

Cast-in-Place Cement Crown Repair

True to their name, these chimney crowns are made by pouring hot cement or concrete directly over the crown. We address gaps in the crown structure by using protective coatings to fill in the structure.

04

Pre-cast Chimney Crown Repair

Unlike cast-in-place, these chimney crowns are pre-manufactured and installed on the chimney later. Besides fixing cracks or gaps, we also replace pre-cast crowns that don’t fit the chimney properly.

Common Problems in Chimney Crowns That Require a Repair

01

Any form of visible cracks on the chimney crown points towards a red flag. Unless you get them sealed, they will keep deteriorating the masonry. 

02

Water leakage inside the chimney walls or signs of mold growth are often indicators of chimney crowns that are either damaged or missing. 

03

Missing concrete sections in the cement crown means that the chimney has suffered extensive damage, causing the structure to crumble. 

04

A properly installed chimney crown includes a sloped surface to draw excess rainwater away. If the surface is flat, it needs to be reinstalled. 

05

Stains getting on to the chimney’s exterior is not just a cosmetic issue but a sign that water or excess moisture has seeped into the masonry. 

Standard costs for chimney crown repair. 

What Are the Chimney Crown Repair Costs?

The cost of chimney crown repair services can vary depending on the scope of the project. Minor repairs—such as sealing small cracks or applying a water-repellent coating—are generally less extensive and can often be completed quickly.

In contrast, a full chimney crown replacement involves more labor and materials, as the existing crown must be removed and rebuilt. This type of service is typically recommended when the crown is severely damaged or deteriorated. Additional repairs to other chimney components may also be necessary depending on the condition of the structure.

FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

When done by a professional like Bob’s Chimney, you can expect chimney crown repair to last about 10-15 years. To make the most out of your chimney crown lifespan, we suggest inspecting and maintaining it regularly. 

A chimney crown is a concrete or brick structure that is installed on the top of the chimney structure. A chimney cap, in contrast, sits above the flue opening to prevent animals or rainwater from getting into the chimney. 

Regardless of the fuel type you’re using for your fireplace, we suggest inspecting your chimney crown at least once a year to maintain its good condition.
