The chimney crown is the concrete or mortar slab that caps the top of the masonry chimney, sloping away from the flue liner to direct rainwater off the stack and away from the brickwork below. In the freeze-thaw climate of the New York metro area, crowns are one of the first components to crack and crumble — and once water begins penetrating the crown, the resulting damage can cascade quickly through the flue liner, smoke chamber, and surrounding masonry. Carter Family Chimney Service diagnoses crown damage during every inspection and offers targeted repair or full crown reconstruction depending on severity.
For crowns with minor surface cracks, we apply elastomeric crown sealants that flex with thermal expansion and create a waterproof membrane over the existing substrate. For crowns that have lost structural integrity — sections missing, deep cracks reaching the brick below, or crowns that were originally undersized — our technicians form and pour a new reinforced concrete crown built to correct overhang dimensions, ensuring water sheds well clear of the chimney face. All new crowns are finished with a curing membrane and a penetrating masonry water repellent.
Ignoring a cracked chimney crown typically leads to spalling brick, deteriorated mortar joints, and eventually interior water damage in the attic or upper floors. Carter Family Chimney Service serves South Richmond Hill, NY and surrounding Queens neighborhoods seven days a week. Call (929) 356-7855 to schedule a crown inspection before the next rainy season causes further damage.
