Reveal Crown & Water Proofing

We also offer services to help protect and prolong the life of your chimney, minimizing expensive repair costs that could arise. These services are: reveal crowns and waterproofing.

Doesn't your chimney deserve a roof, just like your home? We think so, and that is why we do things the old-fashioned way.

How We Create Protective Reveal Crown

Here is how we create that protective reveal crown. First, we remove your present crown on top of your chimney, then apply an ice-guard water barrier material. A steel form is installed on the brick ledge, creating a 1 ½" reveal on all four sides of your chimney. Gasket material is applied around all penetrations. Reinforced concrete combined with an adhesive is then mixed and poured into a steel form to create a 3" thickness. We allow the crown to cure, and then the form is removed. Elastomeric caulk is then applied to the tile and where the crown meets brick to prevent leakage, expansion, and contraction. We then follow this by using one coat of crown coat waterproofing material to the crown, filling in any imperfections and protecting the new crown. We recommend waterproofing the remaining portion of the chimney using high-quality masonry waterproofing.

The Old Way

Years ago, most of your crowns were poured or pre-poured in a fashion so that the crown would have a reveal of approximately 1-2" on all four sides. Today, most chimney crowns are applied in a tapered fashion, which is a cheap and easy way for a contractor to finish your job but not the best option for you, the Homeowner.
