What's the difference between the crown and the cap?

The crown is the concrete slab at the top of the masonry that sheds water off the bricks; the cap is the metal cover over the flue opening that keeps out rain and animals. Many chimneys need both working properly — they protect different parts.

Can a cracked crown just be sealed, or does it need rebuilding?

Hairline and moderate cracks can usually be sealed with a proper flexible crown coating. We only rebuild the crown when it has deteriorated badly enough that sealing wouldn't hold. We'll show you which situation you're in.

Why do crowns crack in Florida?

Constant sun, heat, and heavy rain cycles expand and contract the concrete, and a crown that was poured too thin or without the right slope cracks even faster. Once it cracks, water gets in — so it's worth addressing early.

Resealing and rebuilding the concrete crown that protects the top of your chimney.

Hawthorne's Climate & Your Chimney

Sitting inland spares Hawthorne chimneys the worst of the salt air, but the Tampa Bay area's climate is still hard on them. Long humid summers, sudden heavy storms, and the yearly tropical season push moisture into masonry and stress crowns through constant heat-and-rain cycles — steady upkeep is what keeps a Hawthorne chimney safe.
