Is Your Chimney Cap Doing Its Job?

Due to its location at the top of your home, the chimney is particularly susceptible to animal intrusion and water, debris, and weather damage. That’s why having a properly sized and installed chimney cap is such a vital part of maintaining a healthy chimney system.

Where Does The Chimney Cap Sit?

Chimney caps are installed at the top of your chimney flue, kind of like a cap or protective helmet for your chimney!

What Does A Chimney Cap Do?

Chimney caps are essentially designed to provide a protective cover that keeps certain things out of the chimney system and certain things in.

  • Chimney caps protect the chimney system from water, snow, sleet and other elements that could cause damage and decay to the chimney and attached appliance.
  • Chimney caps keep leaves, sticks, moss, birds, and animals from entering the system and creating blockages or fire hazards. Animals and birds are especially troublesome, as they can bring diseases and bugs in with them and end up getting stuck in the chimney or making their way into your home.
  • Chimney caps prevent sparks from your fire from exiting the chimney system and starting a fire on your roof or in your yard.

We Can Check Your Cap For Proper Installation & Condition
