chimney guy said crown is cracked.. Hubby said he saw it... when he inspected last week.
a board and brick is presently over flue tile... there when we bought place this year
Chimney guy wants $200 to repair crown....
After watching some" you tubes "and reading posts here about crown repair. Not sure which way to go....
I believe, not sure, need to call and ask chimney guy how he plans on for $200 more than the cleaning to attack cracked crown...
Hubby was told there is a "gel" while back from another roofing guy to seal up the cracks...
Different methods... so what is the best tear off the old crown and redo??? what about tuck pointing too.....Proper materials and methods????
What is the longest lasting.....
I suggested a large custom made chimney cover that extends over the crown too.
But chimney guy said that would hold in moisture around the cement crown...
But why could not the whole chimney cover be like up a little like on "legs" so that not direct contact with the cement crown...e like beveled so rain etc flowa off.
Do NOT want to spend a lot on this money pit house.... we are usually do it yourselfers...
suggestions yall??? please chime in all
Thanks
Jean
