Chimney Crown Repair & Rebuild Services

If A Damaged Crown Is The Root Of Your Chimney Leak, We Can Help

The chimney crown plays a vital role in protecting your masonry chimney from weather elements and intrusions. Constructed typically of concrete, the crown covers the top of the chimney stack, preventing rain, snow, sleet, and debris from entering the chimney system. Despite its robust design, the crown is not immune to damage. At Top Hat Chimney & Roofing, we frequently encounter chimney leaks originating from compromised crown conditions, whether due to weather-induced deterioration or subpar initial construction.

Addressing crown-related issues promptly is essential in preserving the structural integrity of your chimney and preventing further water damage to your home. Our team of skilled chimney professionals is equipped to diagnose and remedy any crown defects, employing advanced repair techniques and materials to restore your chimney’s protection against moisture.

Effective Solutions For Compromised Crowns

Crack Repair with CrownSeal

For crowns exhibiting minor cracks and holes yet still structurally sound, our technicians utilize CrownSeal, an elastomeric coating designed to mend these imperfections. CrownSeal creates a flexible, waterproof barrier that closely mimics the natural appearance of concrete or mortar, effectively sealing any breaches in the crown. This environmentally friendly solution can also be color-matched to your existing crown, ensuring a seamless repair that carries a decade-long warranty for peace of mind.

Crown Rebuild

In instances where the crown is fundamentally flawed due to poor construction or severe degradation, a full crown rebuild may be warranted. Our rebuild process entails the removal of the damaged crown and the construction of a new one, ensuring it meets the proper specifications for slope, thickness, and includes a drip edge to facilitate water runoff. By rebuilding the crown with high-quality materials, we guarantee enhanced durability and long-term protection against moisture.

Crown Waterproofing with CrownCoat

To further safeguard your chimney’s crown from future cracks and weather damage, we recommend CrownCoat, a brushable waterproof sealant. This preventive treatment establishes a durable waterproof membrane over the crown, with the option for custom coloring to match your crown’s aesthetics. Professionally applied, CrownCoat comes with a 15-year warranty, offering extended defense against the elements and preserving the integrity of your chimney crown.

Professional Inspection & Repair Services

Identifying the exact source of a chimney leak can be complex, but our Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)-certified professionals are adept at pinpointing and rectifying such issues. An inspection by our experts can determine if your crown is indeed the culprit behind your chimney leak or if other areas of your chimney system require attention. Regardless of the cause, our team is committed to delivering effective solutions that halt water intrusion and preserve the function and safety of your chimney.
