PART 01
Chimney cap
A chimney cap is a protective covering at the top of your chimney that keeps rain, debris, and animals out.
- Can become rusted or damaged by weather
- May become clogged with leaves or debris
- Can be dislodged during strong winds
PART 02
Crown
The chimney crown is a concrete slab that covers and seals the top of the chimney to prevent water intrusion.
- Cracks due to weather exposure
- Deterioration from freeze-thaw cycles
- Poor construction or materials can lead to leaks
PART 03
Flashing
Flashing is a metal barrier that prevents water from seeping between the chimney and roof.
- Can rust or corrode over time
- Become loose or detached in high winds

Brick and mortar
The masonry consists of the bricks and mortar that form the visible structure of the chimney.
- Mortar joints can crack or deteriorate
- Bricks may spall or chip due to moisture

PART 05
Flue liner
A flue liner helps contain combustion products and protects the chimney walls from heat and corrosion.
