A chimney cap is needed when the flue has no cover at all, when the existing cap is rusted through or structurally compromised, or after any repair work that requires removing the old cap. An uncapped flue is exposed to rain, debris, and wildlife year-round.
- Flue measurement and sizing
- Stainless steel cap installation
- Stainless screw fastening
- Fit and draft verification
The Cost of Delay
An open flue collects rain with every storm. Contacting an expert early allows for targeted solutions before the damage becomes significantly more expensive to address.
A correctly fitted stainless steel cap prevents rain from entering the flue, blocks animals and birds from nesting inside, and keeps leaves and debris out of the firebox. The mesh sides also act as a spark arrester, preventing burning embers from landing on the roof.
Quality stainless steel caps are rated for 20 or more years without corrosion under normal conditions. Unlike galvanized caps, they do not rust and do not require periodic replacement.
An open flue collects rain with every storm. That water sits at the base of the firebox, saturates the smoke shelf, rusts the damper plate, and migrates into the surrounding masonry joints. One nesting season from a bird or raccoon can fill the flue with dry organic material — the exact fuel needed to convert a normal chimney fire into an uncontrolled one. The cap is one of the least expensive components in the system, and its absence accelerates deterioration across every other component.
