Crown repair with the right materials
Shrinkage cracks in a newer crown
Concrete shrinks as it cures. The Brick Industry Association treats some shrinkage as a certainty and points to reinforcement as the way to control the cracking that follows. A crown poured without steel, or poured tight against the flue, often shows cracks within its first seasons.
If your crown is fairly new but already cracked, our pros look for the cause before anything else. Tight contact at the flue, missing reinforcement and too thin a section each call for a different fix, and we tell you which one applies in plain words and in writing.
Newer crowns sometimes come with paperwork from the builder or an earlier contractor. If you have anything describing the work, bring it to the inspection. It helps our technicians understand what was built and makes the repair plan more precise.
Crowns that cover more than one flue
A chimney that serves two fireplaces, or a fireplace and another appliance, has several flues coming up through one crown. Each flue needs its own bond break and sealant joint, and the crown has to slope away from all of them at once.
Multi-flue crowns take more form work and more care around each liner. Our crew checks every flue tile for cracks and height before pricing the job. The estimate lists the flues by location, so you know each one was looked at.
Flues also differ in height and condition. One tile may be cracked while another is fine, or one flue may no longer be used. We note each one so the crown plan fits the chimney as it is, and any flue repairs appear as separate lines you can decide on.
A local family business on your roof
Our company is family owned and operated. The people who inspect your crown, write the estimate and do the work answer to the family that owns the business, and they answer the phone too.
That shows in small things, a call back when we say we will, a clean roof when we leave and honest advice when a coating will do and a rebuild is unnecessary. We would like to be the chimney company Airport North neighbors recommend to each other.
A family business depends on the word of the people it has worked for. When a neighbor asks who fixed your chimney, we want you to give our name without hesitating. Every crown job is held to that standard, from the first phone call to the last sweep of the roof.
Crown pieces turning up in the gutter
Small gray chunks of concrete in the gutter below the chimney are a common first clue that the crown is breaking up. They usually come from edges and corners that have cracked loose.
Keep a piece if you find one and mention it when you call. Our technician checks the whole crown, since loose edges rarely fail alone, and explains how much of the top is still sound.
Pieces in the gutter can also clog downspouts and send water over the edge of the roof. Our crew clears the gutters around the chimney after crown work, and we mention any gutter issues we notice so you can deal with them.

Chimney crown repair questions in Airport North
Can a cracked crown be sealed instead of replaced?
Often, yes, when the cracks are fine and the concrete around them is still sound. A coating made for chimney crowns bridges small cracks once they are cleaned and filled. If the crown is hollow, broken at the edges or has no slope, sealing only delays the next leak, so we recommend a new crown instead.
Is crown repair covered by a warranty?
Crown work falls under our workmanship warranty, with our 100% satisfaction guarantee alongside it. The warranty terms for your job are written on the estimate, so you know what is covered before you approve the work.
