The cap sits atop the chimney flue and prevents rain, debris, and animals from entering. Damaged or missing caps are the most common chimney repair — and the most urgent. Replacement $149–$449 depending on flue size.
The chimney crown is the concrete or mortar cap that covers the top of the chimney masonry. Cracks in the crown allow water penetration that accelerates all other chimney deterioration.
The flashing is the metal seal between the chimney and the roof. Failed flashing is the leading cause of roof leaks adjacent to chimneys.
Deteriorating mortar joints between chimney bricks weaken the structure and allow water infiltration. Repointing $200–$800 depending on area.
Cracked flue tiles — common after wildfire exposure — create a fire hazard. Tile repair or relining $900–$2,500 depending on flue length.
The Eaton Fire caused specific damage patterns: radiant heat cracking of flue tiles, cap damage from ember pressure, crown cracking from thermal expansion, and flashing damage from fire proximity. A Level 2 inspection is required before assessing repair scope.
