 Chimney Crown
Replacement: This old chimney in
Bethesda, Maryland was in pretty bad shape
when we arrived. The home-made DIY
chimney caps weren't much to look at
either, so we installed some newer
up-to-date units (below).
Most Roofers don't even bother looking at the
chimney crown. "Why not?" I ask.
It's true that water from a leaky chimney crown
can get down inside and cause LOTS of damage to
the bricks and flu liner, and can also leak
into the house and cause damage and mold
growth.
Why not take care of the problem while we're up
there? Calling a masonry company would
cost hundreds more; plus, we can coordinate the
installation with the roofing work to avoid
damage to the new roof . . .
