A clogged screen choking the fire

Fire slow to draw even after a sweep? Look up. A spark screen coated with soot and flakes cuts the space smoke has to leave through, and the fire begins to smoke into the room.

Our specialists clean a clogged screen if it's sound, and replace the cap if the mesh is rusted through or too fine for your fires. A screen that plugs quickly can point to wet wood or smoldering fires, and they'll mention that too. Either way, the draft comes back. Reserve a cap cleaning or replacement for your home in Cedar Key by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Wind, salt and the cap's grip

Wind off the water brings salt to every chimney in Cedar Key. That combination loosens fasteners that are rusting, and a cap held by corroded clamps is the one that lifts off in a gust. Our specialists fit caps with stainless clamps and anchors, check them for tightness on every sweep, and replace any hardware that's started to rust.

Replacing a cap lost to wind

When a cap blows off, the flue is open to rain from that moment. Our specialists check the flue tile at the top for cracks, since a cap tearing loose can take a piece of tile with it, and check the crown for fresh damage.

The replacement is fastened properly, clamped or bolted rather than glued, so the next storm doesn't take it too. If the tile or crown was damaged, the repair is priced separately and can happen on the same visit. If rain is due before the new cap can go on, a temporary cover keeps the flue dry until then.

Cap metal where salt is in the air

Close to salt water, ordinary galvanized caps rust through fast, and even some stainless grades pit. The International Molybdenum Association lists nearness to salt water as a major corrosion risk and points to Type 316 stainless, since the molybdenum in it holds up against chloride pitting.

Some cap makers sell a marine-grade line in 316 for exactly that. Our specialists recommend it for chimneys near the coast, with stainless fasteners to match, and they check the screen and lid seams on every visit, since salt collects where water lingers. The 316 option is priced next to standard stainless so you can see the difference. The cap is worth checking at every sweep.

Keeping a coastal cap in good shape

Salt collects in sheltered spots on a cap, under the lid and in the screen's corners, where rain doesn't wash it away. Those are the spots where pitting starts, even on good stainless.

Every sweep includes cleaning salt and soot from those spots and checking the fasteners, which can corrode before the cap does. A screen or lid showing early pitting is worth replacing before it rusts through and lets rain and animals in. You'll get a price on the spot, with the metal grade named. A gentle rinse of the cap with fresh water after a stormy stretch also helps, where the roof is safe to reach.

FAQs

Before you order a chimney cap

What if something is living in the chimney?

Before any cap goes on, the flue gets checked, so nothing gets trapped inside. If an animal or nest is found, our animal removal specialists handle it first, then the cap is fitted to keep the flue clear.

Do factory-built fireplaces need a special cap?

Yes. They take the cap listed for their chimney system, found from the rating plate. A cap from another brand can change how the unit drafts, so our pros fit the listed part.
