The unsung hero on top of your chimney

Without a cap, your chimney is essentially an open hole into your home from the roof. Water pours in and accelerates masonry decay from the inside out. Birds, squirrels, and bats nest in the flue – sometimes blocking it completely. Embers and sparks escape onto your roof during use.

None of these are emergencies on day one, but each shortens the life of your system and creates risk. A quality cap, properly installed, prevents all of them for a fraction of the cost of any of the resulting repairs.

A chimney cap keeps rain, snow, debris, and nesting animals out of your chimney while preventing stray sparks from escaping.

If you notice rust, rattling noises, water leaks in your fireplace, or birds inside the flue, it’s time for a new cap.

Yes. It acts as an umbrella for your chimney, blocking rainwater from entering the flue and damaging the interior lining.
