Mortar crown is the concrete-like surface at the top of your chimney that keeps water away from the flue and from entering the chimney chase. Cracks or missing pieces can lead to extensive water damage. Traditional masonry products can be used to repair the mortar crown.
When your fireplace is not in use, the damper is what stops the heat from escaping up your chimney to the outside.
If your fireplace does not have a tight-fitting set of glass doors, or a damper at all, you are wasting money through the loss of heat.
The firebox of your fireplace takes a lot of heat and abuse. If any of the bricks are loose, or if the mortar joints are eroded more than 1/2 inch, it may be time to give the professionals at Rooftop Chimney Sweeps a call to schedule a repair.
