Caps & Crowns, Camden CountyChimney Caps and Crowns Built for Camden County, NJ
The crown is the concrete slab across the top of the chimney, and the cap is the metal hood that sits over the flue. Together they keep rain, animals and leaves out. In Camden County the crown takes most of the punishment, because water sits on a flat or cracked crown and then freezes on a January night. We repair small cracks, rebuild crowns that have broken up and fit screened caps sized to each flue, so the chimney sheds water instead of storing it.

Caps & Crowns for Camden County Homes
In Camden, average January lows are about 26 degrees Fahrenheit, and the record low is 11 below zero, from February 1934. A crown that has a crack and stays wet will freeze and open a little wider every cold snap.
About 80% of Winslow Township lay in the Pinelands National Reserve as of 2006. Wooded lots bring squirrels, birds and falling needles, and a screened cap is the simple way to keep all three out of the flue.
Caps and crowns go on chimneys in Winslow, Voorhees, Cherry Hill, Gloucester Township and Haddonfield.
When to Call Us
- No cap on top of the flue
