Sealing hairline cracks before they grow

Caught the cracks while they're still fine lines? That's the best time. A flexible crown coating made for the job can bridge hairline cracks and keep water out, and it's a smaller job than a new crown.

On a dry day inside the maker's temperature window, our pros clean the crown, fill any wider cracks, tape off the flue tile and apply the coating. The coating keeps flexing as the crown heats and cools, so the cracks stay sealed. You'll know before the work starts that the crown is sound enough for it.

Storm damage on the chimney top

Storm winds can knock a cap against the crown or drive debris into it. On a home in Evinston, fresh cracks or a chipped edge may not be visible from the ground.

After rough weather, our pros check the crown and cap together and tell you what changed. Small new cracks can be sealed before the next heavy rain finds them.

Getting a crown ready for a coating

A flexible crown coating only works on a crown that's ready for it. Maker data sheets, such as the one for CrownCoat, call for a sound, clean and dry surface, with wider cracks filled first and the flue tile taped just above its base so the coating finishes cleanly there.

Our specialists scrub off moss, soot and loose material, let the surface dry, fill the cracks the coating can't bridge, and check the weather. Coatings have a temperature window and need a dry spell after application. Skipping any of those steps is why some coatings peel within a season. Our pros also note on the quote which coating they'll use.

Filling open cracks before coating

A coating can bridge hairlines, but it can't span an open crack on its own. Those cracks are cleaned out to sound concrete, blown free of dust and filled with a patching compound made for concrete and for outdoor use.

Once the fill has set, the whole crown gets its flexible coating, which ties the patch and the rest of the surface together. Our pros check that the crown around the cracks is still solid before choosing this route. If the concrete breaks away when they clean a crack, the crown is past patching, and they'll show you why. The patch material is named on the quote.

Crowns cast off site

Precast crowns are cast at ground level in a mold, cured under control, then lifted onto the chimney. The Brick Industry Association notes that precast crowns generally perform better than cast-in-place ones, since shrinkage cracking happens before the crown is set in place.

It's set on a mortar bed with a bond break and flexible seals around the flue tiles. Our specialists recommend precast where the chimney is a standard shape and the crown can be lifted to the roof safely. Where the chimney is irregular or access is tight, a crown cast in place with the same details is the better choice.
