Experienced Masonry Chimney Crown Repair to Stop Leaks

Masonry Crown Repair is the process of addressing cracks, gaps, or other minor damage in the chimney crown pad to prevent water intrusion and extend the life of your chimney. The crown, located at the top of a masonry chimney, serves as a protective barrier that diverts water away from the chimney structure. Over time, exposure to weather can cause the crown to crack or deteriorate, allowing water to seep into the chimney and cause extensive damage.

At Nexus Chimney Services, we use CrownCoat, a highly durable and flexible product, to repair and seal damaged chimney crowns, ensuring long-lasting protection and performance.

Why is Masonry Crown Repair Important?

  1. Prevent Water Intrusion

Cracks and gaps in the crown allow rainwater to penetrate the masonry, leading to spalling bricks, damaged mortar joints, and even leaks into the interior of your home.

  1. Protect the Chimney Structure

A well-maintained crown shields the chimney’s flue liner and masonry from water damage, preserving the structural integrity of the chimney.

  1. Avoid Costly Repairs

Timely crown repair prevents minor issues from escalating into major problems, such as the need for a full crown rebuild or extensive chimney restoration.

  1. Enhance Chimney Performance

A properly sealed crown ensures water flows off the chimney efficiently, reducing the risk of draft issues or internal damage to the smoke chamber and flue.

Our Masonry Chimney Crown Repair Process

  1. Inspection and Assessment

Our certified technicians inspect the chimney crown to evaluate its condition and identify cracks, gaps, or other damage. This thorough assessment ensures we address all potential problem areas.

  1. Cleaning and Preparation
  • The crown is cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and loose materials, creating a clean surface for the repair.
  • Any minor debris or vegetation is cleared to ensure proper adhesion of the repair product.
  1. Application of CrownCoat
  • Durable Product: We use CrownCoat, a flexible, weather-resistant sealant designed to repair and protect chimney crowns.
  • Sealing Cracks and Gaps: CrownCoat is applied to fill cracks, gaps, and minor imperfections in the crown surface.
  • Smoothing and Finishing: The product is smoothed and shaped to ensure a polished, uniform appearance and optimal water flow.
  1. Final Waterproofing

Once the repair is complete, the crown is treated with a commercial-grade waterproofing solution for added protection against future weather damage.
