Chimney crown repair in Atlanta, GA
Cracked chimney crowns sealed or rebuilt with a proper overhang, so rain runs off instead of soaking into your chimney.
The crown is the concrete or mortar slab that covers the top of a masonry chimney around the flue. Its job is to shed water, and it takes the full force of every storm. When it cracks, water goes straight down into the brick and the chimney.
Why crowns fail
Many crowns were built as a thin layer of mortar with no overhang, which cracks quickly and lets water run down the face of the brick. Even a well-built crown cracks over time with heat and the occasional freeze.
Sealing small cracks
When a crown is still sound with only small cracks, we clean it and apply a flexible crown sealant that bridges the cracks and keeps water out.
Rebuilding
When a crown is badly cracked, crumbling or built wrong, we remove it and build a new one with a proper slope and an overhang, so water drips clear of the brick.
Why choose us for this job
Crown repairs are quoted in writing after we have inspected the crown.

How do I know if my chimney crown is cracked?
You often cannot see it from the ground. Water in the firebox, a rusted damper, or staining and flaking on the upper brick are common signs. An inspection with photos shows you.
Can a cracked crown be repaired, or does it need replacing?
Small cracks in a sound crown can be sealed. A crown that is crumbling, badly cracked or built without an overhang usually needs rebuilding.
Why does a crown need an overhang?
An overhang lets rainwater drip clear of the chimney instead of running down the face of the brick, which keeps the masonry drier.
