DALLAS-FORT WORTH CROWN REBUILD

A Poured Crown That Sheds Water Off Your Brick

When a chimney crown is cracked all the way through or crumbling at the edges, sealing is not enough. A crown rebuild removes the failed concrete, builds wood forms with a proper overhang, and pours a new reinforced crown that sheds water away from the brick — the permanent fix instead of a patch that buys one season.

When a rebuild is the honest answer

Our Process

Check the crown, flue tiles and brick to confirm a rebuild is needed.

02

Tear-Off

Remove the failed crown down to solid masonry.

03

Form & Pour

Build wood forms and pour a new concrete crown with an overhang.

04

Curing

Let the concrete cure fully, then seal it against water.

Common Questions

When does a crown need a rebuild instead of a repair?

Small surface cracks can be sealed. But when the concrete is crumbling, spalling, or cracked through to the flue, a rebuild is the honest fix — we will show you photos from your own roof before you decide anything.

Common Questions

Crown Rebuild FAQ

How do I know it needs a rebuild and not just a resurface?

If the cracks are on the surface and the slab under them is sound, resurfacing is the right call and I will say so. A rebuild is for a crown that is split through, missing sections, or breaking apart in your hand, because a coating over that comes off with it. I photograph the top and send it to you, so you are not taking my word for the difference.

How long does the job take, and when can I use the fireplace again?

On a typical chimney the tear-off and the pour are usually a single day’s work, weather permitting. Concrete keeps curing after that, and it gets sealed once it has, so I will tell you on the day how long to leave it and when it is fine to burn again. Heat and humidity change that timing, so I would rather give you the real number that week than a number now.

Will a new crown stop my leak?

Only if the crown is where the water is getting in. The cap, the flashing at the roofline, open mortar joints and the brick face all put water in the same places, and a leak can come from any of them. If the photos show the water is coming from somewhere else, I will tell you that instead of selling you a crown you don’t need.
