The crown is the concrete slab at the very top of the masonry, and chimney crown repair in Dunedin reseals or recasts it before its cracks funnel water into the flue.
Reseal vs. recast
Hairline cracks get a flexible crown sealer; a crown that is crumbling or was poured too thin gets recast with a proper overhang and drip edge so water falls clear of the brick instead of running down the face. For Dunedin homeowners the scope stays tight: the active problem gets fixed and anything only worth watching is flagged, never upsold.
- Correct slope so water sheds away from the flue
- Often paired with a new cap to protect the rebuilt crown
- Flexible sealer for hairline cracking
- Full recast with overhang and drip edge for failed crowns
