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. Whether you have a chimney cap, or need other types of roof or chimney repairs, 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 flue 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. This sign likely means it’s time for metal chimney cap replacement services.

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 cover.
