A sealed or rebuilt crown comes with the paperwork showing what was done, with our workmanship warranty on the work.

Local Conditions

Rain and sun on crowns in East Williston

Salt doesn't reach a crown in East Williston, so what wears it down is rain soaking into cracks and sun heating the surface day after day. The concrete expands and contracts, and hairline cracks slowly open. Our pros catch cracks while they're still fine lines, when a flexible coating can still keep water out and a new crown isn't needed yet.

How tall the flue tile should stand

Each flue tile should stand above the crown, so water running off the concrete can't spill into the flue and so a cap has something to grip. The Brick Industry Association recommends at least 2 inches of liner above the crown.

On older chimneys, tiles are sometimes cut flush or broken off at the top. Our specialists check the height before rebuilding a crown, and if a tile is broken, they repair or extend it first. A crown poured around a short tile leaves a weak spot right where water collects, and the cap choices shrink too. The fix for a short tile is priced separately.

Crown problems you notice indoors

A failing crown lets water into the top of the chimney, and it shows up lower down. Damp spots at the top of the firebox, rust on the damper, crumbling mortar in the smoke chamber and white deposits on the flue tile can all start at the crown.

Our pros trace those clues back up the chimney before blaming anything else. A cap can look fine and the flashing can be sound while the crown quietly lets water in around the flue tile. Fixing the crown stops the water at the top, which is where the damage starts. Our pros check the flue seals at the crown first when those signs show up.

Keeping the flue seals in shape

The flexible sealant around each flue tile at the crown takes sun, rain and heat from the flue. Over the years, it dries, cracks and pulls away, and water finds its way down the outside of the tile.

We check those seals on every visit to the roof and replace any that have failed, cutting out the old sealant, fitting a new backer rod where needed and tooling fresh sealant into the joint. It's a small maintenance job that protects the whole crown, and it's priced on its own when it's all that's needed. Old sealant is cut out in full before the new bead goes in.

FAQs

Which crown fix do you need?

Can a cracked crown be sealed instead of replaced?

If the cracks are hairline or a few open ones in an otherwise sound crown, yes, with a fill and a flexible coating. Loose pieces, a flat top or cracks right through mean a new crown. Our specialists price both where both could work.

Should the cap be replaced at the same time?

If it's rusted, loose or fastened into the damaged area, doing both on one visit saves a second setup on the roof. The crown and the cap are priced separately so you can choose.
