Chimney Crown Repair in Portland, OR
The chimney crown is the concrete top that sheds water away from the flue. Cracks in the crown let water penetrate and freeze, causing spalling and interior damage. Prime Chimney repairs and seals crowns to protect your chimney from Oregon's wet, freeze-thaw cycles.
The crown is the cement pad on top of your chimney that sheds water away from the flue. It's different from the cap, which covers the flue opening.
Why do crowns crack?
Portland's freeze-thaw cycles, settling, and inferior original construction cause cracking. Water enters the cracks, freezes, and expands — widening them over time.
Can a cracked crown be repaired without a rebuild?
Usually yes. Most crowns can be repaired and sealed if caught before major damage occurs. We'll assess during your inspection.
