Chimney Crown Repair Service
What is A Chimney Crown?
The chimney crown is a protective covering at the top of a masonry chimney. Its main functions are to keep water out, redirect water flow away from the chimney, withstand weather elements, prevent damage to the flue, and enhance the chimney’s appearance. Regular maintenance is crucial to address any damage and ensure the crown’s effectiveness in preserving the chimney’s integrity.
Chimney Crown Damaged
Damage to the chimney crown can include cracks, spalling (chipping or flaking), deterioration from weather exposure, improper sloping, and shifting or settling of the chimney structure. Timely repairs or replacements are important to prevent water infiltration, maintain structural integrity, and optimize the chimney’s functionality. Regular inspections by professionals can help identify and address any crown damage promptly.

Repair or Replace Process
. Inspection: A professional chimney sweep conducts a thorough inspection of the chimney crown to assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. They will also check for any underlying issues that may have contributed to the damage.
2. Preparation: Before starting the repair or replacement process, the area surrounding the chimney is typically protected with drop cloths or tarps to prevent debris from spreading and causing damage.
3. Removal of damaged materials: If the chimney crown is repairable, any loose or damaged materials are removed. This may involve chiseling, scraping, or grinding to ensure a clean surface.
4. Repair: If the damage is minimal, the chimney crown can be repaired using a specialized chimney crown repair mortar. The mortar is applied in layers, gradually building up the surface to ensure a proper seal. Cracks or gaps are filled, and the crown is shaped to provide adequate water runoff.
5. Replacement: In cases where the damage is extensive or the crown is beyond repair, replacement may be necessary. The existing crown is removed completely, and a new chimney crown is built from scratch using appropriate materials like concrete, brick, or stone. The new crown is constructed to meet industry standards, with proper slopes and overhangs to divert water away from the chimney structure.
6. Waterproofing: After the repairs or replacement are completed, it is essential to apply a waterproofing sealant to the chimney crown. This helps to protect it from moisture, prolong its lifespan, and enhance its resistance to weather elements.
7. Clean up: Once the repair or replacement work is finished, any debris or leftover materials are cleaned up, and the surrounding area is restored to its original condition.

I hired Santa Chimney Sweep for my annual chimney cleaning/inspection. Noam friendly, professional, and did a thorough job. He even took a picture of how my fireplace was styled so that he could put everything back exactly where it was originally! I loved the attention to detail and going that extra mile.

Priced right, came quickly, and Ibrahim took the time to explain what needed repair and why. They also offered to remove their shoes, used a shop vac to clean out the hearth, and carried the logs which were heavy and boxed for later use into the garage. I appreciated their commitment to keeping my house from getting dirty with the work they needed to do! Recommend highly.

This was our first time using a chimney service since moving to Texas. I have to say we are very pleased with this company! Everyone is professional, kind, and honest. Their pricing is very fair, they thoroughly explain what’s going on with your chimney + do a great job cleaning it! Noam serviced ours and he was great! We’ll be using them exclusively for all our future chimney needs.

I had a great experience with Santa chimney sweep! I had smoke coming in through my fired place and they came to inspect. Found it very dirty, and our chimney exterior was cracked and leaking water in. They fixed everything in a professional and timely manner. Noam and Abe were great. Will use them for all my future chimney needs
