Is water flowing down your chimney into the fireplace?
If you notice pieces of cement on your roof or the ground near the chimney, it’s likely coming from your chimney. This issue, if ignored, can lead to a very costly reconstruction. Typically, the root cause of chimney problems stems from the top of the chimney: the cement crown. The crown serves two purposes: securing the top course of bricks and directing rainwater away from the chimney to prevent it from penetrating. If cracks form in the crown, rainwater can seep in, freeze during winter, and expand, causing further damage.
A chimney crown is a masonry covering that protects the top of your chimney. It prevents water from leaking into the masonry and chimney liner. Water damage or cracks in the chimney crown can lead to expensive repairs. A chimney crown coat can be applied to fill in cracks and joints, preventing further damage to the entire chimney.
If your chimney crown becomes cracked, it can allow water to flow into the chimney. Texas Chimney Experts can protect the crown by applying an elastic material that resembles glue, known as chimney crown coat. If the cracks are significant, we can replace the crown entirely.
