Chimney Crown Repair
Chimney Crown Repair Services
The chimney crown is a critical component of your chimney system. Located at the top of the chimney, the crown seals and protects the masonry below by directing water away from the flue opening and chimney walls. When a crown becomes cracked, deteriorated, or improperly constructed, moisture can enter the chimney and cause long-term damage.
Chimney Goat provides professional chimney crown repair services designed to restore the crown’s protective function and help preserve the strength and stability of your chimney.
Types of Chimney Crown Repair Services We Offer
Crown Crack Sealing
Partial rebuilding focuses on specific sections of the chimney, such as the upper courses, crown area, or damaged masonry. This option may be suitable when deterioration is limited to certain areas and the remaining structure is stable.
Crown Resurfacing
When the crown surface shows wear or small areas of deterioration but remains structurally sound, resurfacing provides a new protective layer. This restores proper slope and water-shedding ability without requiring a full rebuild.
Partial Crown Repair
If only certain sections of the crown are damaged, partial repair targets those areas while preserving the rest of the structure. This approach helps restore protection while maintaining structural stability.
Full Chimney Crown Rebuild
For crowns with extensive cracking, improper construction, or severe deterioration, a full rebuild may be recommended. A new crown is constructed with proper slope and durable materials designed for long-term performance.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a cracked chimney crown be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?
Minor cracks can often be repaired. If the damage is extensive or the crown was improperly built, rebuilding may provide better long-term protection.
How does a damaged crown cause chimney leaks?
Cracks and gaps in the crown allow water to enter the chimney, where it can soak into masonry and interior components.
Is chimney crown repair different from chimney cap installation?
Yes. The crown seals the top of the chimney structure, while the cap protects the flue opening. Both work together to keep moisture and debris out.
How often should chimney crowns be inspected?
Chimney crowns should be inspected annually as part of routine chimney maintenance.
Does crown repair help prevent future chimney damage?
Yes. Repairing and sealing the crown helps reduce moisture penetration, which is a major cause of chimney deterioration.
