Chimney Cap Installation

Chimney cap installation sets a covered, screened cap on a flue that does not have one, or replaces a cap that is gone. The cap keeps rain, animals, and debris out of the opening.

The work

What is chimney cap installation?

The cap is sized to the flue and fastened to the crown or the chase. A screen stops sparks and animals. A solid lid stops rain. It is not a concrete crown, and it does not fix cracks in the brick.

If an old cap is rusted but still in place, that is cap repair. The crown under the cap, if it is cracked, is crown repair and should be sound before a new cap is asked to seal against it.

Why it matters

Why this work matters

An open flue is a hole in the roof that happens to be lined. Rain falls straight to the damper. Birds and squirrels nest in the smoke shelf. A cap closes that hole without blocking the draft.

The screen has to stay clear. A cap is not a reason to skip a sweep.
