The top of the chimney is the first line of defense.
Cracked crowns rebuilt, missing caps replaced and flashing resealed, so rain, birds and animals stay out of the flue and out of the brick.
- Crown: Rebuilt with a sloped, overhanging top
- Cap: Stainless steel or copper, with a screen
- Flashing: Resealed or replaced at the roof
What it is, and why it matters.
The crown is the concrete or mortar slab on top of a chimney, and it is the main shield against rain. Over time it cracks, and water gets into the brick and the flue. A cap on top keeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue.
We repair and rebuild chimney crowns, install caps and renew flashing for homes in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee. It is often a smaller project that prevents a larger one.
Four things done right.
A crown that sheds
A sloped top with a drip edge sends water off the chimney instead of into it.
A cap that fits
A screened cap keeps rain, leaves, birds and animals out.
Flashing that seals
Where the chimney meets the roof is sealed or replaced with the right materials.
Brick protected
Fixing the top slows moisture damage to the brick and mortar below.

Chimney Crown and Cap Repair: common questions
Can a cracked crown be repaired?
Small cracks can sometimes be sealed with a crown repair product. Large or deep cracks usually mean the crown should be rebuilt, because the water is getting into the brick.

A cap is a simple, inexpensive way to keep rain, leaves and animals out of the flue. Most chimneys should have one.
