"Quickly figured out that problem was a frozen drain pipe causing its sensor to shut down the furnace. Fixed with a temporary drain tube replacement to a bucket below. BRILLIANT!!! Very satisfied. Even showed me how to reconnect when the main drain tube thaws out so I can save another service call."

"Extremely Disappointed with Chimcare’s Service and Product, go with someone else! Our experience with Chimcare started off positively—they did a great job removing a large chimney from our house and installing a gas fireplace insert. Unfortunately, everything went downhill after that. The gas insert they sold us, a Regency brand, has been nothing but a nightmare. Over the last three years, we’ve had to call Chimcare out to repair it at least eight times. Each time, the fireplace works for only a couple of weeks—or less—before breaking down again, often in the same way. Most recently, the ceramic insert they installed broke after just a few days of intermittent use. This strongly suggests that their technicians are not properly trained at installing the ceramic inserts, leading to repeated failures. Because of these issues, we’ve had a functional fireplace for only two months total over the last two years. This failure to provide a reliable product and service has significantly impacted our family. We’ve gone through two Thanksgivings and two Christmases without a working fireplace. To make matters worse, during the major ice storm last year, we were left without the heat the fireplace could have provided—something we should have been able to rely on to keep our home and two small children warm during a power outage. Despite our repeated requests, Chimcare has been incredibly unhelpful in resolving the situation. I’ve had to pester them with calls every few days to get any progress on having Regency honor the warranty. They are completely unresponsive/not-proactive unless I am calling them directly - technician, project planner, and front office are all favorites in my phone - at this point, I’ve had to call daily just to get any updates or action on what should be a simple warranty replacement. Their lack of proactivity and accountability has been exhausting and deeply disappointing and makes it seem like they are not actually trying to honor my warranty and for what we paid for in terms of service. It’s incredibly frustrating to have spent so much money on this installation, only to deal with constant repairs, an unusable product, and a company that refuses to address their technician’s clear errors. While their team is polite when scheduling repairs and when the technicians are present, politeness doesn’t make up for poor service and unreliability. We deeply regret choosing Chimcare for our fireplace installation and strongly advise others to look elsewhere for their fireplace needs."

A properly constructed chimney crown using quality materials can last 50 to 70 years with appropriate maintenance. Poorly constructed crowns might need replacement in 20 years or less. Weather exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and construction quality all affect longevity. Regular inspections and prompt repairs of minor issues can significantly extend your chimney crown's useful life and prevent more costly repairs down the road.
Homeowners' insurance covers sudden, accidental damage to chimney crowns from events like fallen trees or storm damage. However, gradual deterioration from age or lack of maintenance falls outside coverage parameters. Review your specific policy details, as coverage varies between insurers. Document any storm-related damage with photos and maintain records of regular chimney maintenance to support potential claims for weather-related damage.
The chimney crown forms the concrete or masonry covering across the entire top surface of your chimney, sloping away from the flue to direct water away. A chimney cap, by contrast, is a smaller component that fits directly over the flue opening to prevent animal entry and block sparks. While the cap protects just the flue opening, the crown safeguards the entire chimney structure from water penetration.
Professional chimney inspections should occur annually to evaluate crown condition along with other chimney components. Homeowners in regions with severe weather patterns or frequent freeze-thaw cycles might benefit from semi-annual inspections. A thorough inspection examines the crown for cracks, spalling, deteriorating mortar joints, and proper water drainage. Early detection of minor issues prevents them from developing into major structural problems.
A deteriorating chimney crown frequently leads to interior moisture problems. When water penetrates crown cracks, it can travel through the chimney structure into adjacent walls and ceilings. This moisture migration often results in stained drywall, peeling paint, and potential mold growth. Early intervention through crown repair or sealing prevents these secondary damages and protects your home's interior from water-related deterioration.
