How Our Pros Handle Chimney Cap Replacement in Bayshore Beautiful
Once your free inspection is done, you have 72 hours to approve the cap at 10% off. Here is how our specialists get the fit right.
Birds in the flue and the timing of a new cap
Chimney swifts nest inside open flues, and the species is on the federal list of migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. An active nest cannot simply be pulled out so a cap can go on. When our pros hear chirping or see birds dropping into the chimney at dusk, the cap is scheduled for after the birds have gone.
Other animals follow their own rules, and Florida wildlife rules restrict when bats may be excluded from a building. Tell us what you have seen or heard when you call. If something is living in the chimney now, the removal work comes first and the cap follows, so no animal is ever sealed inside.
Caps that stay on through storm season
Hurricane season, by NOAA's dates, lasts from June 1 to November 30. A cap held by loose clamps or tired adhesive can lift off in a strong gust, and a cap that leaves the chimney can damage shingles or gutters on its way down.
Our pros fasten new caps the way their makers direct, test every bolt and anchor by hand before leaving and look at the crown the cap depends on. After a storm passes, a quick look from the yard for a tilted or missing cap is worth the minute, and if you see one, call and we will arrange a visit.
Stainless grades, chosen by exposure
Stainless steel is sold in more than one grade. Type 304 is widely used for caps, and Type 316 adds molybdenum, which the International Molybdenum Association's selection guidance rates as the ingredient that resists chloride pitting. That guidance scores exposure factors such as distance from salt water and sheltered surfaces that rain does not wash.
Our pros use the same method to recommend a grade for your chimney and explain the choice before you decide. Sheltered corners under the lid are where pitting starts, so they get a close look on every visit.
A cap and a working damper do different jobs
The damper inside the fireplace closes the flue when the fire is out, while the cap sits outside at the top. A cap reduces the rain that reaches the damper, but it does not seal the flue against air moving in or out. A top-sealing damper that closes at the flue top is a separate job with its own fitting rules, and its maker limits which fireplaces it suits.
Our pros look at both during a cap visit. If the damper is rusted or sticks from past water, you hear about it, and if a top-sealing damper would suit your fireplace better than a plain cap, we explain the difference and price each option.
