Our chimney cap installers put a new cap on your chimney or repair the one you have, so animals, rain and debris stay out.
Do I Really Need a Chimney Cap?
If you have an active chimney, you need the protection of a chimney cap.
A chimney cap protects against animals (such as birds, bats, squirrels and raccoons), rain and debris. Without a cap, wild animals may nest inside your chimney, which causes problems for you and for the animals.
If rain, snow, hail or other moisture gets into your chimney, it can cause severe damage. You may see cracked or spalling bricks, mold growth or damaged joints. Rain erodes mortar joints and rusts the metal parts of your fireplace. A cap costs little compared to the repairs it prevents.
When to Repair or Replace Your Chimney Cap
As professional chimney cap installers, we recommend a repair or a new cap if:
- You do not have a chimney cap
- Your chimney cap is rusted
- Your chimney cap is damaged or bent out of shape
- Your chimney cap does not match the style of your house
Your cap is one of several parts at the top of your chimney. If your crown or chase cover also needs work, see chase covers and crowns.
