Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Chimney crown crack repair
A chimney crown is quite similar to the roof of your house. Like the roof of your house is supposed to keep the house dry, so the crown of a chimney is to keep a chimney dry. If water were to find its way down a chimney, it would spoil the masonry. Water expands when it freezes, so frozen ice is bound to cause a lot of problems for the masonry. So, a chimney crown protects a chimney. Cracks in a chimney crown could prove to be detrimental to a chimney's health just as cracks in the roof of your house would be for your house.

The thought of chimney maintenance simply ends with the cleaning of the chimney done by the chimney cleaner. But this could be a bit expensive in the long run. You certainly have to put in a lot more to maintain your chimney in the best condition. A cracked chimney crown could easily mean a couple of dollars to add to the headache it would give you.

A professional chimney sweep would simply sweep the bricks and the crown to do his bit. At the most, he would add a chimney cap to your chimney to protect it against everything that might enter the chimney.

A chimney sweep would step into the picture if your chimney develops some cracks. In case of a brick chimney, cracks begin at the floor at the point where the chimney begins to take a turn. The crown of the chimney is the point where the trouble begins. The crack might be a bit difficult to spot for an untrained eye, so in comes a professional chimney sweeper.

Any chimney crown repair would be done with the help of some concrete. The concrete is hardened and made strong with the help of reinforced steel or mesh. This is another way to make sure the cracks don't develop into large ones.

In case the chimney has clay flue liners, the chimney sweeper should take care not to let the concrete and flue liners get in touch with each other. If flue liners get hot, which they would, they would expand, and the crown would crack. A professional chimney cleaner would always take care to wrap the flue liners in foam. The foam should be thick enough to isolate the concrete mix. It should be about 3/8 inches thick.

The foam is separated from the concrete as soon as the concrete over the crown hardens. The crack is filled up using masonry caulk.

A chimney sweep could as well use a chimney crown sealant to seal and close all gaps and cracks that arise. This way, water is unable to seep through the brick, mortar and concrete in the chimney. A high bond patching material is used to fill up large cracks. Using these solutions, a professional chimney sweep might be able to boost the life of your chimney by about 15 years.

At times, things might have gone out of hand, there could be pieces of the crown that are missing, and the crown would have to be replaced.
