Chimney Cap Installation

Home ServiceChimney Cap Installation

Chimney caps are a great way to keep animals out. During the colder months smaller animals like birds, squirrels and raccoons will feel the warmth from the fire below and make nests inside or around the chimney flue.

Many times, animals will enter the chimney, become trapped and eventually die.  Post-mortem the animal’s remains will inevitable cause an odor in your home and attract flies and maggots. We can install a chimney cap to prevent this from happening.

5 REASONS TO INSTALL CHIMNEY CAP

Keeps Animals Out

As stated above a chimney cap will keep small animals from entering your home through your chimney flue.

Prevents Debris

Things such as leaves, sticks and branches can enter a chimney flue without a cap ultimately clogging up the flue.

Block Downdrafts

The shape of the chimney cap is designed to prevent a wind-induced downdraft, ultimately preventing smoke being blown back into your home.

Prevents Moisture

Without a chimney cap rain, ice and snow can get into your chimney flue causing physical damage to the flue and moisture from rain water can produce mildew and mold.

Protect Against Fire

Embers and sparks from a fire in your fireplace travel up the flue and can exit onto your roof causing damage without the the safe guard of a chimney cap.
