Chimney crown repair, explained for Union Park homeowners
Crowns on older chimneys without a liner
Some older chimneys have no flue liner, only brick inside. The crown on those chimneys sits around a bare masonry opening, and there is no tile to seal against.
A crown repair on an unlined chimney is possible, but the missing liner is its own concern. We mention it in the estimate, along with chimney liner installation, so you can plan both together if you choose.
An unlined chimney also changes how we shape the crown around the flue opening, since there is no tile to separate from. Our crew sheds water away from the opening and keeps the top ready for a liner if you add one later.
A second opinion on a crown estimate
If another company told you the crown needs a full rebuild, or that a coating will do, a second look can help. Crown recommendations depend on what the concrete underneath is doing, and different inspectors check different things.
Our free inspection gives you an independent answer in writing. We tell you where we agree with the earlier estimate and where we see it differently, and why.
A second opinion does not mean the first one was wrong. It means you get a clearer picture before spending money. If we agree with the earlier recommendation, we tell you that too, and we will never invent extra work to justify the visit.
Crown specialists who explain their work
Crown repair looks simple from the ground. On the roof it takes judgment, knowing when a crack is cosmetic, when the concrete is failing and when the flue is the real problem.
Our technicians are chimney pros who repair crowns as a regular part of the work, and they explain what they see in plain language. You will understand the recommendation before you approve it.
Good judgment also means knowing when the crown is fine. If the leak is coming from the flashing or the flue, our technicians tell you so, even when that means a smaller job or a different repair.
Crown repair that fits the rest of the chimney
A new crown should look like it belongs on your chimney. The overhang, the thickness and the finish are sized to the chimney, so the top looks tidy from the street and the drip edge still does its job.
Our crew talks through the look before building the forms. If you have a preference about the edge profile or finish, tell us at the inspection and we will say what works with the drainage the crown needs.
Our crew also makes sure the new crown lines up with the chimney faces. A crown that is square and even looks better and sheds water more evenly. We check the finished edges from the ground before we pack up.

Quick answers on chimney crown repair
How can you tell a crown leak from a flashing leak?
Water from a cracked crown tends to show up inside the flue or the firebox, while flashing leaks usually stain the ceiling or wall beside the chimney. Both can happen at once. Our technician checks the crown, the cap, the flashing and the brick during the free inspection and tells you which one is letting water in.
Does a new crown come with a new cap?
Not automatically. If your cap is rusted or loose, we list a cap replacement as its own line so you can decide. When both are done together, the cap is fitted after the crown has cured enough to take fasteners.
