The chimney crown sits at the top of a masonry chimney and helps direct rain, snow and moisture away from the chimney structure.
Maine's harsh weather can take a toll on chimney crowns. Years of rain, snow, ice and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause cracks and deterioration that may allow moisture into the chimney.
Maine Fireplace Services provides professional chimney crown repair and related chimney services throughout Union, Maine and surrounding communities.
Watch for:
If you've noticed any of these problems, having the chimney evaluated can help determine what repairs may be appropriate.
A damaged crown can expose the chimney to additional moisture.
During Maine winters, water can penetrate cracks and then freeze and expand. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to continued deterioration of masonry and other chimney components.
Addressing crown problems early may help prevent a relatively localized issue from developing into a larger chimney repair.
