Leaves and twigs piling on the damper

Opening the damper and getting a shower of leaves? An open flue, or a cap with a torn screen, lets debris fall straight in, and it piles on the smoke shelf where the next fire can light it.

Our pros clear what's there, check the flue for nesting material, and fit a cap with a whole screen and a lid shaped to shed leaves. If trees overhang the roof, a hip-shaped lid sheds debris better than a flat one. The cap price includes the cleanup. Reserve a cap that keeps the debris out in Arredondo by calling (352) 675-6366.

Measured directly, about 6 miles separate Arredondo from the Gainesville reference point. Arredondo falls in the Alachua County part of our service area.

Local Conditions

Storm wind well inland

Tropical storms can carry strong wind and heavy rain far from the coast, as NOAA's National Hurricane Center points out. Homes in Arredondo feel that wind at the chimney top.

A cap held by rusted clamps or a single screw is the one that lifts off. Our pros fasten caps with stainless clamps or anchors and check them for any give before they leave.

How the lid keeps rain out

Rain doesn't only fall straight down. Wind drives it sideways, and a lid that barely covers the flue lets it blow in under the edge. The lid's overhang and its height above the flue both change how much rain gets past.

A lid set too low, on the other hand, can crowd the smoke and hurt the draft. Our specialists choose a cap whose lid covers the flue with a margin and sits high enough for smoke to leave freely. On an outside-mount cap, the lid also shelters the crown, which keeps water off the concrete and the brick below it.

Stainless against galvanized steel

Galvanized steel is carbon steel protected by a layer of zinc. The zinc protects the steel until it wears through, and then rust starts, first on the screen and the lid seams, where water sits longest.

Stainless steel doesn't depend on a coating, so a scratch or a worn spot doesn't start a rust patch. It costs more up front and lasts much longer in the weather. Black caps can be painted galvanized or powder-coated stainless, and the difference matters. Our pros tell you exactly which metal a cap is made of, so you know what you're buying and how it will age.

Fastening a new cap to the flue

Fitting a cap takes more care than it looks. Our pros protect the roof where they'll be standing, remove the old cap and its fasteners, and clean the flue top so the new cap seats flat.

They set the cap square, fasten it evenly, and check that it doesn't rock. On an outside-mount cap, they seal around the anchors so water can't follow them into the crown. Before leaving, they look at the cap from the ground with you and explain how to get it off for cleaning. The old cap leaves with them. If the size isn't on hand, the fitting is scheduled for the day it arrives.

FAQs

Cap fitting in Arredondo? Start here

Why did my old cap blow off?

In most cases it was glued on, held by too few screws, or rusted at its clamps. Our pros clamp or bolt the new one in place with stainless hardware. Reserve a secure replacement in Arredondo at (352) 675-6366.

What does the building code say about spark screens?

Florida's building code sets the mesh size, the screen's heat and corrosion resistance, and how much open area the cap needs. Our specialists fit screens that meet all of it and can tell you if yours doesn't. Talk to us about a code-sized screen for your home in Arredondo at (352) 675-6366.
