Preserving Your Chimney’s Integrity
Over time, your chimney crown may develop cracks, potentially allowing water to infiltrate the chimney structure. At Chimney Cricket, we specialize in effective chimney crown repairs. Our skilled technicians can seal cracks, apply a protective chimney crown coat, or even craft a new crown when extensive damage is present.
Understanding Chimney Crowns and Chimney Crown Coat
A chimney crown acts as a protective masonry roof covering the top of your chimney. Its role is crucial in preventing water from penetrating the underlying masonry and chimney liner. Damage or cracks in the chimney crown can lead to costly repairs. Our chimney crown coat serves as a solution by filling cracks and safeguarding the entire chimney from further deterioration.
Mitigate Water Intrusion with a Professional Chimney Crown Seal
Our chimney crown seal involves the application of a flexible, waterproof sealant across the entire chimney crown. Professionally applied, this seal stops water intrusion through the crown, offering resilience against harsh weather and thermal stress that chimneys endure. The sealant is flexible, forming a seamless coating with a textured appearance that can be troweled to mimic various mortar-like finishes. Designed for exterior use, it's suitable for masonry, stucco, poured concrete, precast concrete, and concrete block surfaces.
Comprehensive Component Protection
Chimneys demand special attention to prevent water-related damage, especially those extending above the roofline. Our holistic chimney protection program includes repairing the crown with the chimney crown coat and applying water repellent treatments. Additionally, we recommend chimney caps for flue tiles to prevent water damage inside the chimney. Attention is given to flashing around the chimney base, addressing all visible points of water entry.
