The crown is the concrete slab at the very top of your chimney that sheds water away from the bricks. Over time, heat and freezing temperatures cause this surface to crack, which leads to major water damage if ignored. Repair companies apply specialized sealants or pour a new mortar cap to stop leaks in their tracks. Because the depth of the cracks determines the repair method, your exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
