The work

What is chimney cap repair?

The cap keeps rain, animals, and debris out of the flue, and the screen keeps sparks from landing on the roof. A cap is not the concrete crown. The crown is the slab that covers the top of the masonry. The cap covers the opening of the flue.

A repair may be a new screen, a refastened cap, or a full replacement when the metal is gone. If animals or leaves are already in the flue, the flue is cleared before the new cap goes on. A new cap is covered on the cap installation page when there has never been one.

Why it matters

Why this work matters

An open flue takes rain straight down onto the damper and the firebox. That water rusts metal and soaks masonry from the inside, which is harder to see than a crack on the outside.

A screen full of creosote or nests also blocks the draft. The fireplace then smokes into the room even though the chimney itself is standing.
