Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Describe How a Professional Chimney Sweep Fixes a Crack in a Chimney Crown

If you have a chimney installed at home for the indoor fireplace or for the wood burning stove, then you should pay attention towards its maintenance. Lack of maintenance can make the right call for severe damages of the chimney. And when we are talking about the issues that a chimney can face due to lack of maintenance, you cannot really neglect the crown area where appearance of cracks is a common thing. It's the crown area of the chimney where cracks can come up with time and due to constant use. The materials used for the chimney at this place can start to deteriorate with time. High temperature can even cause the damage and cracks can pop up. So, you need to inspect the crown area of the chimney on a regular interval to find out whether or not cracks have come up. Once you find some cracks, call the professional chimney sweep to fix them as soon as possible. Otherwise, water and moisture will start to enter into the chimney and this can perform major damage for the overall structure. A professional chimney first removes the cracked surface from the crown. And then the required materials and proper sealant is applied to cover the whole area. Once this is done, you can start using the chimney without any issue further. This work can be done while following different steps.
  • Concreting the cracks
  • Caulking
  • Crown detaching
  • Mixing the mortar
  • The final repair
While following these steps, a professional chimney sweep can fix the cracks appearing in the chimney crown. Suppose you're like most of the home owners, then you have not paid attention to the chimney crown. The chimney crown works as the protective covering for your chimney against any harsh weather. Crown serves as the important role to protect your chimney, however most people do not realize that crown needs to get protected as well. When it is left unprotected, chimney crown can deteriorate and crack.

What is the Freeze Thaw Damage?

Whenever you light fire in the wood stove or fireplace in winter, it will cause your chimney to heat and cool down. When temperatures drop below the freezing point, any water absorbed in the chimney crown from the rainfall can freeze and thaw, and creating process of contraction and expansion. The process causes the crown to deteriorate and crack. With that in mind, it's very important to prevent the water from absorbing in your chimney crown at a first place. Depending on severity of the damage to crown, it has to be repaired or replaced completely. The replacement costs run in thousands of dollars & must be done by the qualified chimney sweep. Suppose cracks are not very severe to warrant replacement, best method to perform chimney crown repair is to use the elastomeric product that can stay flexible with time. First step is taking wire brush to entire surface of a crown.
