Why we measure before we order

Caps come in dozens of sizes, and flue tiles vary more than you'd think. A cap that's too small won't fit over the tile, and one that's too big rattles and lets rain blow in under the lid.

Each flue tile's outside size, its height above the crown and the crown itself go on the measuring sheet, and the cap is matched to those numbers. Stock sizes can go on the same visit; made-to-measure caps come on a second trip. You'll know which before you agree to anything. Ask for a cap measure at your home in Chiefland by dialing (352) 675-6366.

We cover Chiefland along with the rest of our Levy County area. In 2020, the Census Bureau counted 2,316 people living in Chiefland.

Local Conditions

Open lots and wind-driven rain

A home in Chiefland with little around it to break the wind gets rain driven sideways across the chimney top. A lid with a small overhang lets that rain blow straight into the flue. Our pros pick a cap with a generous overhang and enough height for smoke, so the flue stays dry without hurting the draft. Where the chimney stands tall above the roof, that overhang matters even more.

Choosing a cap by the job it has to do

A chimney cap can solve four different problems, and the best one for your home depends on which you have. Rain getting in calls for a lid with enough overhang. Animals call for a screen on every side. Sparks call for mesh that meets the building code.

Downdrafts may call for a taller or wind-directional cap, though a cap can't fix every draft problem. Our pros ask what you've noticed, look at the flue top and the roof around it, and then recommend the cap that solves your problem without adding ones you don't have. That way you're not paying for features that won't help.

Measuring a flue for a cap

Clay flue tiles are sized by their outside dimensions, and they're rarely exact. Our specialists measure each tile's outside width and length, how far it stands above the crown, and whether it's square to the chimney.

Those numbers decide whether a stock cap fits or one has to be made to measure. They also show whether the tile stands tall enough above the crown for a clamp-on cap to grip. A cap ordered from a guess either won't fit or will fit loosely and rattle. The measuring takes a few minutes on the roof and saves a wasted trip. Our pros write the sizes on your quote.

Quieting a rattling cap

Rattling in the wind means a cap is working itself loose. Each gust knocks it against the tile, wears the fastener holes wider and can chip the tile's edge.

First job is finding what's loose. A sound cap on a sound tile gets new stainless fasteners and is tightened evenly. A cap with bent legs or rusted clamps gets replaced. A tile with a chipped or cracked top may need repair before any cap can grip it properly. You'll hear which applies, with the price, and the rattling stops once it's fixed. A quiet cap is a secure cap, and that's what keeps it on through the next storm.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

Does a cap need cleaning?

The screen does, since soot and flakes collect on it. Our pros clean it on every sweep, and caps they fit come off with ordinary tools so the flue can be brushed too.

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 Chiefland at (352) 675-6366.
