Chimney Crowns

Although you can’t normally see what’s happening on top of your chimney, you shouldn’t leave it forgotten. Chimney crowns are a pivotal part of masonry chimneys.

Early Times offers Chicagoland with the best chimney crown repair service to keep your chimney looking and functioning beautifully.

What Are Chimney Crowns?

Not to be confused with a chase cover or chimney cap, the crown of your chimney is the concrete slab that is located at top portion of your brick chimney.

Chimney crowns usually overhang the chimney brickwork to effectively drain water away. They should also be on a slight slope to prohibit rain and snow from accumulating on top. Chimney crowns should be approximately 4”-6” thick /1”-2” overhang.

Chimney Crown Repair and Replacement

Over time, the crown can become deteriorated and cracked, which can cause moisture to enter your chimney. It’s important to act on this right away so that you can avoid further damage to the brickwork.
