Evercrown Chimney Protection

Typically, the highest point of a home, the masonry chimney, is exposed to the elements, battling Mother Nature against rain, wind, snow, and UV exposure. At the top, the chimney crown acts as the sentry, protecting the flue and surrounding masonry from moisture intrusion, which is detrimental to its survival. That’s why crown repairs are essential at the first sight of cracking or other damage.

Common Causes of Chimney Crown Damage

The chimney crown is the uppermost section of the chimney top. The slab, typically made of concrete or leftover mortar, is constantly under pressure from a variety of elements, including foundation settling and even seismic activity. These structural and environmental factors can cause:

• Moisture Intrusion: Even hairline cracks can allow rain and melting snow to seep into the masonry, causing deterioration and spalling (the flaking and peeling of the masonry surface).
• Freeze-Thaw Cycles: The melting snow and refreezing exert immense pressure on the crown’s surface. It expands existing cracks and creates new ones.
• UV Degradation: Constant exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can break down the crown’s porous materials, making them more brittle and susceptible to cracking.
• Settling and Seismic Activity: Normal settling of the home or minor seismic events can cause the chimney to shift, leading to stress cracks in the crown.

Why Repair Chimney Crowns with Evercrown

When damage appears, patching with traditional mortar or concrete is a temporary fix that often fails, potentially leading to more expensive rebuilding. Evercrown offers a superior, long-lasting solution that offers many outstanding benefits:

• Flexible and Durable: Evercrown is a proprietary brush-on sealant that cures into a flexible, rubber-like shield, creating a flexible, waterproof barrier that completely seals all surface cracks. Its long-lasting protection is also resistant to future cracks.
• Weather-Resistant: Evercrown stands strong against rain, snow, and ice, preventing moisture from seeping into the masonry and causing water damage. It is also formulated to be UV-resistant, ensuring long-term protection.
• Cost-Effective: By providing a long-term, durable repair, Evercrown prevents the need for frequent, patch jobs that don’t last and can even prevent the need for a chimney crown rebuild.
• Long-Term Warranty: Backed by a limited 10-year warranty from Approved Industries, Evercrown provides a level of confidence and peace of mind that traditional repairs cannot match.
