Chimney Repairs
Sealing and rebuilding cracked crowns that let Colorado freeze-thaw water into the chimney.
Overview
The crown is the sloped surface at the very top of a masonry chimney that sheds water away from the flue and masonry below. When it cracks, water gets in — and in Colorado, that water freezes, expands and makes the damage worse each season. Repairing or resealing the crown early is one of the most cost-effective ways to protect the whole chimney.
Saturn Chimney & Fireplace repairs and seals chimney crowns across the Front Range to stop water at the top before it works its way down.

Built for the climate
The crown takes the full force of Colorado's freeze-thaw cycle — water settles into hairline cracks, freezes overnight, and widens them. Sealing or rebuilding the crown stops that cycle where it starts.
Good to know
Sooner is almost always cheaper. A small crack that's sealed now can prevent water damage that would otherwise spread into the masonry and flue.
It depends on the extent of the damage. Minor cracks can often be sealed; a badly deteriorated crown may need rebuilding. We'll tell you which yours needs.
It can. A breathable water repellent on the surrounding masonry helps protect the repair and the chimney from further moisture.
