Chimney Crown & Cap Repair

The crown is the roof of your chimney. When it cracks, rain runs straight into the masonry below, and the damage spreads down the stack. We break out a failed crown, form and pour a new one with an overhang and a drip edge, and seal the joint where it meets the flue liner so water has no way in.

A good crown is poured with a slight slope, reinforced and sized with an overhang that sheds water clear of the brick. We also install stainless steel caps with screens that keep rain, birds and animals out of the flue. Around Nashville, a new crown and cap are among the most useful repairs a chimney can have, because they protect everything below.

FAQ

Common questions about crown & cap repair

Can a cracked crown be patched?

Small cracks can be sealed, but a badly cracked or flat crown should be rebuilt.

What does a chimney cap do?

It keeps out rain, birds and animals and can stop sparks from landing on the roof.

What materials do you use for a cap?

Stainless steel is the usual choice because it resists rust and lasts.
