Chimney crown repair and rebuild in Baltimore
Cracked crowns let water into the chimney. We repair or rebuild them and take care of the flashing when it needs it.
I'm often up on a roof, so a text usually reaches me fastest, but call anytime.
What this service covers
The crown is the concrete slab that seals the chimney around the flue (the opening inside the chimney that smoke goes up). When it cracks, rain gets into the brick and down into the house. A lot of ceiling stains near fireplaces start here.
We repair crowns when the damage is small, and rebuild them when the crown is too far gone. We'll look and give you a number before we start.
Not sure which part is leaking? See why a chimney leaks when it rains. For all our chimney work, see chimney repair.
