Crown repair in Loxahatchee Groves addresses the first thing to fail on most chimneys — the sloped top that is supposed to shed water but cracks under sun and storm cycling.
Reseal vs. recast
Hairline cracks get a flexible crown sealer; a crown that is crumbling or was poured too thin gets recast with a proper overhang and drip edge so water falls clear of the brick instead of running down the face. We document each step on Loxahatchee Groves jobs with photos, so you can see what was wrong and what changed.
- Often paired with a new cap to protect the rebuilt crown
