When your chimney crown is compromised, so is your home’s defense against water intrusion. Technician Art recently completed a chimney crown inspection in Long Grove on Rock Dove Court, catching early signs of wear before they could turn into costly repairs.

The chimney crown is the sloped concrete or mortar surface that seals the top of the chimney. Its job? To protect the structure from rain, snow, and freeze-thaw damage. Over time, cracks, shrinkage, or poor workmanship can lead to brick erosion and moisture penetration. During this inspection, we reviewed the crown’s surface, checked sealant integrity, and examined mortar joints. No major cracks were found, but we recommended applying a crown sealant to extend its lifespan.

At Chimney Monkey, we believe in preventive care to protect your home and fireplace investment. Don’t wait for water stains or internal damage to appear—request a chimney crown inspection get ahead of it with a professional inspection.
