Keep your crown or chase cover in good shape and free of damage.
The crown is the slab of concrete at the top of a masonry chimney. The chase cover is a metal covering that covers the top of a prefabricated or factory-built chimney. Both can only offer protection against water damage if they’re properly sized and designed, and free of damage themselves.
So, how do you keep them in good shape?
Have your crown checked for proper slope, drip edge, material, and thickness. You’ll need to have your crown inspected annually, and if any cracks appear, make sure they’re repaired while they’re still small.
If you have a chase cover, make sure it’s made of quality metal and perfectly fitted to your chimney. You’ll also need to have it inspected annually and replaced when rust or other damage appears.
