Approved Industries is a leading manufacturer of advanced ceramic coatings and thermal protective systems. We offer chimney professionals a robust and cost-effective solution for restoring damaged chimney crowns. Our Evercrown® product is a proprietary spreadable rubber compound that hardens into a durable, water-resistant barrier. It effectively repairs and restores damaged crowns, providing long-term protection against the elements, including UV exposure.
What Happens When the Chimney Crown Is Damaged?
The chimney crown serves as a protective barrier for the top of the chimney, preventing moisture from seeping into the flue. However, when this crucial component is damaged, it can lead to a cascade of issues, including:
- Water Damage: Even hairline cracks in the crown allow moisture to seep into the masonry, causing deterioration, such as cracking, crumbling, and spalling.
- Freeze-Thaw Cycles: Moisture trapped within the crown expands when frozen, exacerbating cracks and causing further damage to the surrounding masonry.
- Structural Issues: Prolonged exposure to the elements weakens the chimney crown, liner, and interior masonry walls, potentially leading to costly repairs, rebuilding, or even a collapse.
- Interior Damage: A compromised crown can also cause water leaks in the attic or living spaces, damaging ceilings, walls, and insulation. In humid weather, the damage can attract mold and pests.
Common Signs of Crown Damage:
Identifying crown damage early is the key to preventing extensive repairs or rebuilding. Be on the lookout for these warning signs:
- Visible cracks or gaps in the crown.
- Chipped or missing pieces of the crown’s masonry.
- Spalling or crumbling concrete or mortar.
- Water stains on the chimney’s exterior or interior.
- Dampness or mold growth in the attic or near the chimney.
- Bits of clay or mortar in the firebox.
How to Repair Damaged Crowns with Evercrown®:
Evercrown® provides a simple yet effective solution for repairing chimney crowns with minor damage. Its unique formulation allows for easy application and long-lasting protection that is easily applied like cement using a trowel. The homeowner or chimney professional applies a generous amount of sealant over the crown using a trowel, filling all cracks, holes, and gaps. The compound then solidifies into a waterproof and weather-resistant shield, repelling water, snow, ice, and even the sun’s powerful UV rays.
