Chimney Crown Coat Installation – Waukesha

This chimney restoration project was completed for a homeowner in Waukesha, WI and focused on improving the chimney’s resistance to water damage. Water intrusion is one of the leading causes of chimney deterioration, so addressing vulnerable areas before major damage occurs can help extend the life of the entire system.

As part of the project, Fox River Home Improvements applied a professional-grade chimney crown coating to seal the crown and protect it from moisture penetration. This flexible waterproof barrier helps prevent cracks from worsening while reducing the effects of Wisconsin’s freeze/thaw cycles. The crown coating also helps preserve the masonry below by preventing water from entering the chimney structure.

In addition, our team completed flashing repairs around the base of the chimney. Proper flashing is essential for creating a watertight seal where the chimney meets the roof. Damaged or failing flashing can allow water to leak into the home, leading to roof damage, wood rot, and interior moisture issues. By repairing and securing the flashing, we restored a reliable barrier against water infiltration.

The completed chimney crown coat and flashing repairs in Waukesha, WI provide long-lasting protection against the elements, helping to preserve the chimney, protect the roof system, and reduce the likelihood of costly repairs in the future.
