Caps & Crowns, Montgomery CountyYour Local Chimney Caps and Crowns Pros in Montgomery County, PA
The crown at the top of the chimney is supposed to shed water off the brick, and the cap keeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue. In Montgomery County both take a beating, because winters sit so close to freezing that water on the crown can freeze and thaw many times in a single month. We repair hairline cracks before they spread, rebuild crowns that have broken through, and fit stainless caps sized to each flue. On older stacks with several flues, a single multi-flue cap often covers them all.

Caps & Crowns for Montgomery County Homes
In Pottstown, January averaged below freezing until the most recent climate figures, and heavy snow is still possible. Winters that hover around freezing bring many cycles of freeze and thaw, which is exactly how crowns crack and let water into the stack.
Abington takes in 17 unofficial communities, among them Roslyn, Rydal, Meadowbrook, Glenside and Willow Grove. Chimneys across those neighborhoods range from early stone to postwar brick, and we choose the cap and crown design to suit each one.
Caps and crowns keep us busy in Abington, Willow Grove, Pottstown, Horsham and Upper Dublin.
