Chimney Cap Replacement From Local Specialists
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.
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.
The crown under the cap gets checked too
A new cap sits on or just above the crown, the concrete or mortar top that sheds water off the chimney. Section R1003.9.1 of the Florida residential code wants that top pitched so water runs off, finished with a drip edge, and sealed with a caulked bond break at each flue liner. Cracks there let water into the brick even when the flue itself is capped.
Because our pros are already on the roof, the crown gets a close look on every cap visit. If it needs sealing or rebuilding, you hear about it with a separate price, and you decide whether to do both jobs on one trip. Nothing is added to the bill without your approval.
Caps on flues that serve gas appliances
A flue that vents a gas appliance needs a cap chosen with that appliance in mind. Brick Industry Association guidance says information on a manufactured rain cap's effect on flow through the chimney should come from the cap's manufacturer, and a factory-built vent follows the termination its own instructions list.
Our specialists identify what each flue serves before a cap is chosen, and they will not fit fine spark mesh over an outlet whose appliance instructions call for a different termination. If you are unsure what is connected to the flue, that is fine, because working it out is part of the free inspection.
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.
On any service we offer
A free flue-top inspection first, then 72 hours to book at 10% off.
