Chimney Cap Installation & Repair
Caps that keep rain, snow, animals, and debris out of the flue while allowing smoke to vent properly.
An open flue is an open invitation for rainwater, snow melt, birds, squirrels, and raccoons — all of which cause damage or blockages. A properly fitted cap solves this without restricting draft.
We size and install caps to fit your specific flue, and repair or replace caps that have rusted, warped, or blown off in storms.
Signs You May Need This Service
- No cap currently installed on the chimney
- Rust, dents, or a missing screen on the existing cap
- Evidence of animals or nesting material in the flue
- Water intrusion visible at the top of the flue
How It Works
- Measure the flue opening for proper cap fit
- Select a cap style rated for your appliance type
- Install and seal to prevent water intrusion at the base
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a chimney cap reduce draft?
A correctly sized cap has minimal impact on draft — it's an oversized or poorly designed cap that causes problems, which is why proper sizing matters.
Can a chimney cap stop animals from getting in?
Yes — a cap with a mesh screen is the standard way to keep birds and animals out while still allowing smoke to vent.
