How a New Chimney Cap Gets Chosen in Balm
Our cap specialists measure first and check every anchor, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Rust streaks running down from the cap
Orange streaks on the brick or stucco below the chimney top often trace back to metal corroding above them. A galvanized cap whose coating has worn through, rusted screws or an old steel lid can all leave that stain. Left alone, a rusted screen opens gaps big enough for birds and squirrels.
Our pros trace the stain to its source before blaming the cap, because a rusting damper or old metal flashing can leave similar marks. If the cap is the culprit, the replacement is quoted in stainless or copper, and the stain on the chimney face is noted so you know what cleaning or repair it needs.
What happens on cap installation day
Cap day is short and careful. Our pros set up safe roof access, remove the failed cap, clean the tile top and crown where the new cap will sit and fit the new cap with the fasteners its maker specifies. Every bolt, clamp or anchor is checked by hand before anyone comes down.
Before leaving, the team shows you what was done and hands over the product information for your records. If something unexpected turned up, such as a cracked tile under the old cap, you hear about it on the spot, and no extra work starts without your approval.
A cracked flue tile under the cap
Clay flue tiles can crack at the top edge, where a clamp bears on them or where the crown meets the tile. A cap fastened to a cracked tile loses its grip, and water can enter the crack and run down the outside of the liner. Replacing the cap alone leaves that crack in place.
Our pros check the tile edge before any cap goes on. A small chip may be fine under a crown-mounted cap, while a crack that runs down the tile is a flue repair, and you hear about it with its own price before the cap is ordered.
Homes with more than one chimney
Some houses have two chimneys, or one chimney that serves a fireplace and a separate appliance. Each flue top is measured and capped on its own terms, and a cap that suits one may not suit the other.
Our pros look at every chimney on the roof during the visit, so you get one plan and one written estimate for all of them. Doing them together saves a second trip up the ladder and keeps every flue protected at once.
