There are times when the crowns can have cracks. In this case, you have to fill with some concrete and this should be done with a paint brush that is stiff enough. It is much better to look for a company that specializes in detecting the faults as well as correcting with the rightful procedures. Some of the services that are usually conducted during chimney repair include the chimney inspections, video scanning, cleaning of the chimneys, replacement of the chimneys, rebuilding, repairing the dryer vent as well as the relining of the chime flue.
