Masonry Chimney Cap Install & Crown Repair | Buckhead, GA

Installing a custom-fitted masonry chimney cap is highly recommended for homeowners in Buckhead who have masonry chimneys. The climate in Buckhead can be quite humid, and the area receives a fair amount of rainfall throughout the year. Brick and stone chimneys are porous and can absorb moisture. Over time, this can cause damage through cracking, spalling, erosion, and leaks.

Masonry Chimney Crown Repair | Prevent Chimney Leaks

A masonry chimney’s crown, or top, is exposed to the elements and can deteriorate over time from weathering and damage. For our masonry chimney crown repair service, we apply a fresh layer of crown coat using a high-quality, weather-resistant cement or mortar, providing a sound, seamless surface for the chimney cap. It fills in any small cracks or rough areas and hardens into a smooth, sloped surface that sheds water away from the chimney. This important step helps ensure a watertight seal between the masonry chimney cap and crown and prevents premature chimney damage or leaks. Properly preparing the crown extends the lifetime of both the cap and chimney’s lifetime.

When installing a custom chimney cap, you want the surface to be smooth, solid, and water-resistant. A chimney cap needs to fit securely on top of the chimney crown. If the crown is already cracked or crumbling, it won’t provide a stable base for the cap. The cap can become loose or leak.

First, we prepared the chimney crown by wire brushing and grinding down the dirt and grime on the top layer. Then, we used a crown coat to brush over it.
