Chimney crown repair for Lake Weldona homes

Protecting the roof during crown work

Crown work puts people, tools and concrete right above your roof. Our crew lays protection under the chimney, keeps materials on boards and plans a path across the roof that avoids fragile spots.

When the job is done, we clear dust and chips from the roof and the gutters around the chimney. If we notice roof damage near the chimney that was there before we started, we point it out so you know, and we never fold roofing into the crown price without asking.

We also think about where the old concrete goes. Carrying it down in buckets or bags takes longer than tossing it, but it keeps shingles, tile and plants safe. Fresh concrete gets the same care, mixed and carried so drips stay off the roof.

Cap anchors set in a cracked crown

Many flue caps are fastened to the flue tile or anchored into the crown. When the crown cracks, those anchors loosen, the cap rocks in the wind and the fastener holes become another path for water.

If your cap is loose, our technicians check whether the problem is the cap or the crown holding it. Sometimes the cap only needs refastening once the crown is repaired. If the cap itself has rusted out, a chimney cap replacement goes on its own line of the estimate.

When a cap is refastened to a repaired crown, the anchors are chosen for the crown material and set so water drains away from them. Our crew seals around each one, and a cap sitting firmly on a sound crown keeps rain and animals out of the flue.

What our technician checks on a crown

A crown inspection is more than a glance at the top. Our technician looks at the surface, taps for hollow areas, checks the edges and drip, watches how the top drains and examines the joint at each flue.

Everything goes into a written summary in plain language, with a recommendation for each finding. The inspection is free, and so is the estimate.

The inspection also covers the brick at the top of the chimney and the cap. If anything outside the crown needs attention, we tell you, and it shows up as a separate line on the estimate so you can decide.

• Surface cracks and how deep they run
• Hollow or loose sections
• Edges, corners and the drip line
• Sealant and bond break at each flue
