Jeff Beck Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 After spending the past several months climbing on customer's roofs. I finally got a chance to get up on my own where I see that both chimneys have cracked concrete caps. I vaguely remember some years back some talk about a caulk type product made specifically for repairing cracks in concrete chimney caps. Before I go back up with the hydrostatic I thought I'd check to see if there is anything better to seal with. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

hausdok Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Yeah, Fix it right by placing a reinforced concrete cap with a built-in drip edge and expansion joint. I've sent you an article offline via email with attachments showing how you can do that in one afternoon. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Jeff Beck Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Thanks for all the replies, stainless it is. Mike, a special thank you for the article (and for all you do). The shoe maker's children title was meant as a joke, I haven't had time to get up on my own roof. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Send email addresses to hausdok@msn.com and I'll attach to replies. It's a copyrighted article scanned from a magazine. I'll probably get in trouble for scanning and distributing it but not as much trouble as I would if I displayed it here without permission. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

robert1966 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 You can fabricate a metal cap as mentioned above, it is used rather effectively around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
