A customer recently called asking if he can apply CrownCoat by himself and if he could can he purchase this CrownCoat from the Chimney Department.  The answer is no, CrownCoat is a product that repairs damaged chimney crowns and it needs to be applied by a contractor. Preferably by a masonry contractor or a Certified Chimney Professional (hint, hint…just like our chimney pros here at the Chimney Department, Ltd.)

Q) What is a chimney crown?

A) A chimney crown is a masonry roof that covers the top of your chimney.  It prevents water from seeping into the masonry below.  Water damaged or cracked chimney crowns can lead to costly chimney repairs…that can be easily avoided.

CrownCoat is a flexible waterproof sealant that is applied over the entire chimney crown.  A professional installed CrownCoat application stops further water intrusion through the crown.

When CrownCoat is followed up with the SaverSystems chimney saver water repellent it is an excellent combination of masonry protectors that will greatly extend the life of the chimney.

CrownCoat is a terrific product, we’ve been using it for about 10 years and can’t think of a customer that has not been completely satisfied with this product. When applied properly, it carries a 15 year manufacturer’s warranty.

Prior to the invention of CrownCoat, the only option one had was to replace the entire chimney crown. Give us a call to learn more about CrownCoat and it’s uses.
