Chimney Cap Installation

Prevent debris and animals from entering your chimney with a chimney cap.

Overview

A chimney cap is an essential accessory that protects your chimney from rain, debris, and wildlife.

Installing a chimney cap can prevent blockages caused by animals or leaves entering your chimney.

It also helps prevent water damage by keeping precipitation out of the flue, extending the life of your chimney.

Signs you may need it

  1. Your chimney is unprotected at the top.
  2. Debris or animals have entered your chimney.
  3. You experience downdrafts on windy days.
  4. There is visible water damage near the chimney opening.

What happens on the visit

  1. Measure the chimney opening to size the correct cap.
  2. Select a cap material that suits the chimney and home exterior.
  3. Securely install the chimney cap to ensure stability.
  4. Test the cap to ensure proper attachment and coverage.
