Learn MoreReading the Top of a Simi Valley Chimney
Many Simi Valley chimneys came with tract houses built in the same few seasons, so neighbors often share the same weak spot. Usually it is a crown troweled thin, or a rusted chase cover on a framed chimney. Dry wind and summer heat wear crowns here faster than rain does. We seal hairline cracks early, because a crown caught at that stage needs a reseal rather than a new pour.
The Crown
Thin tract crowns crack in the dry heat. Caught early we reseal them; cracked through, we repour them with a proper slope.
Joints and Flashing
Joints on brick stacks hold up better here than crowns do, so we repoint only the courses that have actually opened.
Above the Roofline
On framed chimneys the top is a metal chase cover. When it rusts and pools water, we replace it with one that sheds water off the edge.
