Cracked chimney crowns on older brick homes
Why it happens here
The flat concrete crown on top of most Brook Creek Neighborhood chimneys is thin and unsealed. Water sits in hairline cracks, freezes overnight, and expands the crack until the crown breaks apart. This is the number one source of chimney leaks here.
Our approach
We pour a new crown with chimney crown mix, slope it for drainage, and seal the edges. We also check the top courses of brick because crown failure often damages them too. Most crown jobs finish in one day.
