Chimney · New York & New Jersey

Chimney Crown Repair

The crown is the top of your chimney, and its job is to shed water. We repair cracked crowns, and rebuild them when a repair won't last.

Available in New York & all of New Jersey

The crown takes direct rain, snow and ice. When it cracks, water goes straight into the chimney structure, and freeze-thaw cycles make the cracks worse each year.

We repair crowns that are still sound, and rebuild crowns that are breaking apart, shaping them to shed water away from the flue and off the sides of the chimney.

Available across all of New Jersey and our New York counties.

Chimney Crown Repair

Signs of a failing crown

  • Cracks across the top

    Even small cracks let water into the chimney and widen every winter.

  • Crumbling or missing pieces

    Chunks of mortar on the roof or around the base of the chimney.

  • Damp masonry below

    Staining or flaking brick just under the crown.

How we work

How we repair a crown

  1. 01

    Inspect

    We check how widespread the cracking is and the condition of the brick and flue tile beneath it.

  2. 02

    Repair or rebuild

    Minor cracking can be repaired. A crown that's breaking apart is removed and a new one is formed.

  3. 03

    Cap and flashing check

    We make sure the cap and flashing are working with the new crown so water is shed properly.
