Crown repair before waterproofing the brick

Thinking about a water repellent for the chimney? It won't help if water is coming in from the top. The crown gets fixed first, then the brick is treated if it still needs it.

Our specialists seal or rebuild the crown, repoint any failing joints, and then test the brick to see if a breathable repellent is worth applying. Doing it in that order keeps you from paying for a coating that can't stop the real leak. Each step is priced on its own line. Reserve crown repair and waterproofing advice in Williston Highlands at (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Gutters full of crown grit

Finding gray grit in the gutters of your home in Williston Highlands? Pieces of the crown wash down the roof as it breaks up, and the gutter is where they end up. Our pros match the grit to what they find on the crown and tell you whether it's surface wear that a coating can handle or a crown that's breaking apart and needs rebuilding.

A flexible joint at each flue tile

The flue tile and the crown heat and cool at different rates, and the tile gets much hotter. If the concrete is poured tight against the tile, one cracks the other as they move. That's why the Florida Building Code asks for a caulked separation at each liner, following ASTM C1283.

Our pros wrap each tile with a bond-breaking material before pouring, then finish the joint with a backer rod and flexible sealant after the concrete sets. On an existing crown with rigid mortar packed against the tile, they cut it out and make the same flexible joint. The sealant is named on the quote.

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 first, then the brick

Water repellents for brick don't fix a leaking crown. If rain gets in through the top, it soaks the masonry from inside, and a repellent on the outside can even slow its drying.

Our specialists fix the crown before treating the brick, repoint any failing joints, and then test how much water the brick absorbs to see if a breathable repellent is worth it. That order keeps you from paying for a coating that can't reach the real problem. Each step is priced separately on the quote. Some chimneys don't need a repellent at all once the crown and joints are fixed, and our pros will say so.

FAQs

Asked before a crown repair in Williston Highlands

Why does the crown need to overhang the brick?

So water running off the crown drips clear of the chimney instead of running down the brick face. A drip edge underneath the overhang makes it work.

Does crown repair come with a warranty?

Yes, our workmanship warranty covers the crowns we seal or rebuild, and the quote records exactly what was done. Reserve your free crown inspection in Williston Highlands at (352) 675-6366.
