A cap that doubles as a damper

A throat damper that cannot be repaired may have more than one replacement option. On a suitable wood-burning fireplace, a top-sealing damper cap combines screening with a cable-operated lid. The fuel and appliance requirements must permit a closable flue before that option is selected.

Closed, it keeps rain, animals and outside air out of the whole flue, and conditioned air stays in the house. Our pros fit it to your flue size and walk you through opening it all the way whenever a fire is planned. It's priced alongside a standard cap so you can compare.

Local Conditions

Fireplaces lit only now and then

Only a few fires a year? A chimney in Brooker still needs a cap. Between fires, the flue is an open invitation to rain, leaves and animals, and a damp flue smells.

A screened cap keeps it dry and empty, so it's ready when you want a fire. Our pros check it whenever they're on the roof. It also keeps the damper and smoke shelf from rusting between uses.

Listed caps for factory-built chimneys

Factory-built fireplaces and their metal chimneys are tested and listed as one system, and the cap is part of that system. Under the Florida Building Code, a decorative shroud may go on a factory-built chimney only if it's listed and labeled for that exact chimney.

Only the termination cap the maker lists for your model goes on, and the rating plate says which model you have. A cap from another brand might look similar but can change the draft and void the listing. If the listed part is discontinued, you'll hear what the maker offers instead and what it costs, before anything is ordered.

Screens that clog and what to do about it

Along with embers, a spark screen catches soot and flakes. Fine mesh and smoky fires together plug a screen quickly, and a plugged screen starves the fire of draft.

A clogged screen is checked for damage before anything else. A sound screen gets cleaned, and a rusted one gets replaced with mesh that stays inside the code's size window. If your screen keeps plugging, the fires themselves may be the cause, since wet wood and smoldering fires make more deposit. Our specialists will mention that too, so the fix sticks and the screen stays open between sweeps. A clean screen also shows the metal underneath, so rust gets spotted early.

Flues at different heights under one cap

In chimneys with more than one flue, the tiles can stand at different heights. Under an outside-mount cap, a tall flue close to a short one can push smoke across into the short one, especially when both are in use.

Heights and spacing get measured before a multi-flue cap is recommended, and the cap is sized to clear the tallest flue with room for smoke to escape. Where flues are badly mismatched, separate caps may work better. You'll see the reasoning and both prices before choosing. Getting it right keeps smoke from one fireplace out of the room served by the other.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

Does your cap service reach Brooker?

It does. Our pros fit caps across Bradford County, Brooker included, and they check the flue top and crown for free before quoting. Rain, animals or smoke, let us know which one brought you to the phone.

Which metal should I choose?

Galvanized costs least but rusts once its coating wears. Stainless lasts much longer, and copper lasts too and ages to a patina. Our pros price all three and explain how each will look and wear on your roof.
