Signs Your Chimney Cap/Crown Needs Attention

Recognizing the early indicators of chimney cap or crown damage can save you from costly repairs down the line. Be on the lookout for these warning signs:

• Water stains on ceilings or walls near the fireplace
• Visible cracks or gaps in the crown
• Missing mortar or degraded joints
• Faces of brick missing or just looking terrible
• Pieces of brick in the gutters or on the ground
• Cracks in your flue liner

If you've noticed any of these issues, it's time to consider professional chimney cap/crown repairs. Addressing problems promptly can prevent more severe damage to your chimney and prevent additional water damage to the inside of your home.

Trust our expertise and decades of knowledge to repair your chimney and prevent further damage inside your home. Pat Jaranson Masonry can evaluate the condition of your chimney and recommend a repair that prevents further damage and fits your budget.

Why Do Chimneys Degrade and Need Repair?

Chimneys naturally deteriorate over time—especially in this region—because of harsh winters, freeze–thaw cycles, and below-freezing temperatures. Concrete simply isn’t designed to last forever in these conditions. Just like concrete roads eventually crack and require replacement due to moisture penetration and freezing, your concrete chimney cap experiences the same stress.

The symptoms listed above usually indicate a cracked cap or crown. Once cracks form, water begins seeping into the brick and into the cavity surrounding your flue liner. During winter, that trapped water freezes, expands, and fractures the bricks. Over time, this damage weakens the structure and may require brick replacement or even rebuilding to properly support a new concrete cap. Just as you wouldn’t build a new house on a crumbling foundation, your chimney cap needs solid brick beneath it.

Catching chimney issues early can save you money. In many cases, replacing just the chimney cap is enough. However, if the bricks below are already damaged, tuckpointing or rebuilding may also be needed to restore structural integrity. Timely repairs help prevent more serious problems—such as water damage spreading into ceilings, attics, and other parts of your home.
