Why Chimney Crown Repair is Critical in Newark

The chimney crown is your chimney's first line of defense against water damage. Located at the top of your chimney, this concrete or mortar slab protects the masonry from rain, snow, and Newark's intense sun exposure. When your crown develops cracks or deteriorates, water seeps into your chimney structure, causing extensive damage that can cost thousands to repair.

In Newark, NJ, where we experience heavy rainfall and high humidity, a damaged chimney crown can quickly lead to brick spalling, flue liner damage, and interior water leaks. Manhattan Chimney Pros specializes in professional chimney crown repair and replacement to protect your home investment.
