Crown Wash

The chimney crown is one of the most critical components of your chimney system, serving as the first line of defense against water intrusion. Located at the very top of the chimney, the crown is designed to seal off the space between the chimney flue and the outer walls, preventing rain, snow, and moisture from entering your chimney structure. A properly constructed and watertight chimney crown not only protects the chimney itself but also helps safeguard your home from water damage, mold growth, and costly repairs.

When the chimney crown is cracked, deteriorated, or poorly maintained, water can seep into the masonry or interior of the chimney, causing significant damage over time. This can lead to weakened bricks, crumbling mortar, and even structural issues. Ensuring your chimney crown remains in good condition, free of cracks and fully sealed, is essential for prolonging the life of your chimney and maintaining the safety and efficiency of your home. Regular inspections and timely repairs can save you from expensive restoration down the road.
