Signs You Need a New Chimney Cap

Chimney Leaks

Chimney leaks can stem from a variety of issues, such as problems with the cap, flashing, mortar, or masonry. In some cases, the surrounding roof may be part of the problem as well. No matter the cause, it’s important to schedule an inspection to pinpoint the issue and find the right solution

Critters in Chimney Flue

It’s pretty common for birds and small animals—like squirrels—to find their way into an uncovered chimney flue. But even if you have a cap, they can still get in if it’s damaged.

Excessive Rust

If you notice visible rust on your chimney cap, there’s a good chance it’s not doing its job to protect your home.

Chimney Downdrafts

A well-designed and properly installed chimney cap should help your chimney draft the way it’s supposed to. If you’re dealing with downdrafts—where smoke or gases are coming back into your home—it might be time to adjust or replace your chimney cap.

Types & Styles of Chimney Caps

Chimney caps come in a variety of shapes, materials, and styles—and while many serve similar functions, the most common reasons to install one include keeping out water and debris, blocking pests, improving draft, and adding a nice decorative touch. When it comes to materials and styles, you’ll find options like:

  • Galvanized or stainless steel
  • Aluminum
  • Copper
  • Standard single-flue covers
  • Square or rectangular shapes
  • Multi-flue covers
