Why Every Chimney Needs a Cap

Why Every Chimney Needs a Cap

A chimney cap sits on top of the flue and is one of the most cost-effective parts of your chimney system.

What a cap does

  • Keeps rain out of the flue, protecting the liner and damper
  • Stops birds, squirrels and raccoons from nesting inside
  • Keeps leaves and debris from blocking the flue
  • Helps keep sparks from landing on the roof

When to replace it

Replace a cap that is rusted, bent, loose, missing, or has a torn or clogged screen. Storms and hail are common causes of damage in North Texas.
