What is Crown Coat and how does it work?
We describe Crown Coat as a grey, durable, and rubberized paint. It’s a chemical formula designed to bind to masonry cement and endure adverse weather. It repairs damaged chimney crowns by stopping leaks that would eventually result in major degradation. (A crown is the cement slab that sits at the very top of your masonry chimney, protecting the brick and mortar beneath from water entry.) Midtown Chimney Sweeps’s Crown Coat product waterproofs your chimney’s top, causing water to shed off the chimney crown. This benefits older chimneys, which otherwise fall into disrepair quickly and then require expensive masonry work. As an extra comfort to you, Crown Coat comes with a 15-year warranty.
Why Should I Have a Midtown Technician Do My Crown Coat Work?
When your chimney show signs of deterioration (such as that the mortar joints are worn away by the weather), you need to have the masonry repaired with Crown Coat. That product is commercially available so Midtown professionals can purchase it and protect the top of your chimney. Don’t take a risk by climbing a ladder to perform the work yourself. Midtown Chimney Sweeps technicians take secure their ladders and prepare for the ascent, taking only the necessary tools up with them.
Bricks have varying degrees of hardness and water permeability, and the same is true for mortar and the masonry crown. Avoid pursuing a total crown replacement if your chimney is structurally sound and only requires special coating. Crown Coat is made in the United States, so you can enjoy the fact that you’re supporting companies owned by fellow Americans. Midtown Chimney Sweeps technicians are specially trained and have the Certified Chimney Professionals credential to qualify for working on chimneys with these issues.
Advantages of Crown Coat:
- Fills cracks, gaps, and voids; the entire crown will be coated and weather-tight.
- Stops crack formation that results in chimney leaks.
- Prevents further need for chimney and fireplace repairs.
- Helps to restore and preserve the chimney’s integrity.
