Proper Drip Edge

A chimney crown is the single most important element protecting your entire chimney structure from the elements. It’s not just a cap; it's a reinforced concrete shield designed to shed water. When a crown fails—often due to improper materials or poor design—it allows water to penetrate the masonry, leading to deteriorated bricks, cracked mortar, and costly structural damage. I believe this crucial repair deserves an engineer's approach to ensure it's done right the first time.

My restoration process is a showcase of proper structural engineering. I begin with a full inspection, repairing any deteriorated bricks and tuckpointing the upper courses to create a solid foundation. I then form and pour a new, steel-reinforced concrete crown, incorporating critical details like a foam bond break to prevent cracking and a proper drip edge to direct water away from the brick face. This meticulous, multi-step process ensures your chimney is not just repaired, but fortified for decades to come.

  • Proper Engineering Details

    I incorporate critical engineering details, like a bond break to allow for thermal expansion and a proper drip edge to shed water away from the brick face.

  • Complete Structural Restoration

    My service goes beyond just the crown. I perform a full inspection, repair underlying brick, and tuckpoint the upper courses to ensure a complete and lasting restoration.
