Near Decatur, TX

In most cases, a chimney crown should last for at least 20 years, and with proper maintenance, potentially up to 75 years! Chimney chase tops typically don’t last as long as chimney crowns since they’re made of metal, but generally speaking, they can last anywhere from five to seven years before requiring repair or replacement. Of course, if severe Decatur, TX weather or other factors damage your chimney crown, you’ll need to schedule service with Chenevert's Home Services as soon as possible.

Chimney crowns protect your home from the outside elements, keeping moisture and pests away from entering through your chimney. When the chimney crown is cracked or otherwise damaged, it can lead to problems with your heating system from temperature changes, or moisture damage due to rainwater and snow getting inside your chimney.

Although chimney crowns and chase tops serve similar functions in keeping precipitation, debris, and pests out of your chimney and home, they vary slightly in their execution. Chimney crowns are typically made of concrete, stone, or metal, with older models being made of brick and mortar, while chase tops are often made of metal. Regardless of which is at the top of your chimney, Chenevert's Home Services has the right services to keep them in great condition or replace them as needed!
