The crown is the concrete slab at the very top of the masonry, and chimney crown repair in Eustis 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. Your Eustis pro coordinates around your availability and, for rentals or second homes, can work with a property manager or representative on site.
- Flexible sealer for hairline cracking
- Full recast with overhang and drip edge for failed crowns
- Correct slope so water sheds away from the flue
- Often paired with a new cap to protect the rebuilt crown
