Rust stains on your chimney or siding? Water dripping into your fireplace? A damaged chase cover or chimney crown is almost always the cause. We replace rusted galvanized covers with stainless steel and repair cracked crowns throughout all of Northeast Ohio. Free estimates.
Most factory-built (prefab) fireplaces have a galvanized steel chase cover from the original installation. These rust within 5–15 years in Ohio's climate, causing rust stains on siding and allowing water to penetrate the chase — leading to rusted dampers, rotted wood framing, and interior water damage.
We replace rusted galvanized covers with custom-fabricated stainless steel chase covers — which never rust and come with a lifetime warranty. This is one of the highest-ROI chimney repairs you can make.
The chimney crown is the concrete or mortar cap at the very top of a masonry chimney. It covers the space between the flue liner and the edge of the chimney, directing water away from the flue opening. A cracked or deteriorated crown is the #1 cause of water entering masonry chimneys.
Ohio's freeze-thaw cycles crack chimney crowns faster than almost anywhere else in the country. Water seeps into hairline cracks, freezes, expands, and widens the crack every winter until the crown fails completely. We seal minor cracks with professional crown coatings and rebuild severely damaged crowns from scratch.
