Crowns & Chase Covers
The mortar crown, often called a crown cap, is a concrete-like surface at the top of a masonry chimney. Its job is to shed water away from the flue and also keep water from entering the chimney chase. Cracks or missing pieces in the mortar crown can lead to extensive water damage in your chimney. Mortar crowns may be replaced with traditional masonry products or repaired with a specialized sealant called a crown seal.
Prefab chimneys have metal chase covers on top of the chase. The chase cover’s job is to keep rain and animals out of the chimney. The builder of the home often saves a little money making this chase cover out of galvanized sheet metal instead of stainless steel. A properly constructed chase cover has arched supports underneath to help shed water off the chase cover and away from the chimney’s interior.

What Our Customers Say
"We had a very professional technician come out to inspect our chimney and give it a clean. He did a very thorough job, taking several pictures as he went through the inspection and cleaning process. When he was finished, he sat down with us and went through the pictures and described what he saw and if any follow up work would be needed."
"We had our chimney removed and the team was fantastic! They were great to work with, communicated about everything, answered all our questions, etc. It was quieter than I expected and the team cleaned up everything everyday. I recommend them to all of our friends!!"
"Very professional, prompt, thorough, and remarkably nice people. Their communication consistency and quality was noticeably better than other service providers I've dealt with before (not specifically chimney servicers), and the field guys were able to explain everything in a simple and concise way. They will definitely be my go to in the future. Thanks! Send my regards to the pupp..."
