Chimney Crown Repair
Sealing and rebuilding the concrete crown slab that sheds water off the top of a masonry chimney.
Professional Chimney Crown Repair in Asheville & Western NC
The chimney crown is the sloped slab of concrete or mortar that covers the top of the masonry and directs rainwater away from the flue and brick. Freeze-thaw cycles in the mountains crack crowns quickly, and once water works in, it spreads into the joints below and accelerates spalling. Steady Flame repairs hairline cracks with flexible crown coating and rebuilds crowns that have deteriorated beyond patching.
Sealing vs. Rebuilding
We clean and evaluate the existing crown, fill and seal minor cracks, or form and pour a new crown with a proper overhang and drip edge that throws water clear of the chimney face. A sound crown works alongside your cap and flashing as the chimney's first line of defense against water — the single biggest enemy of masonry in the region. Catching crown damage early protects the flue liner beneath it and keeps costly full-height rebuilds off the table.
