(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 16, 2007 ) Livonia, MI -- Have you ever noticed a chimney in complete shambles? Someone is left with the financial burden of shelling out thousands of dollars to rebuild their entire chimney. Do you think those people have asked themselves if all this expense could have been avoided? The answer is quite often yes. A little preventative masonry maintenance can go a long way. Simple actions like maintaining your chimneys crown/cap can add years of life to your chimney. Much brick damage occurs from moisture. Water saturated brick becomes weak and begins to crumble. Most of this water damage can be completely avoided by properly maintaining your chimney cap. Inspecting your chimney regularly can make all the difference in the world.Take action to replace or repair your chimneys crown as soon as you notice and cracks beginning to form. Chimney cap replacement is far less expensive then the alternative a total chimney rebuild. Allowing water to seep into your chimney, and deteriorate your brick can cost you a small fortune in the long run. When having your chimney cap replaced, I recommend using a product rich in Portland cement. Formed and poured concrete chimney crowns are by far the most durable way to top your chimney. Many times in newer construction projects very little time and thought are put into the chimney crown. Often times they are crowned with mortar. Mortar is not waterproof this leads to a more rapid decay of your chimney. Concrete or a cement rich crown is the recommended way to crown a chimney. This makes for a much stronger cap than regular mortar.
