One cap for a chimney with several flues

Two or three flues poking through your crown? You can cap each one separately, or cover them all with one outside-mount cap, a larger box that spans the crown and anchors to the chimney's top edge.

With every flue and the crown measured, and the flue heights checked, you'll hear which option fits best. A single multi-flue cap also shelters the crown from rain, which helps it last longer. You'll see both options priced side by side before you decide. Where the crown is cracked, that's priced too. Reserve a multi-flue cap fitting in Evinston at (352) 675-6366.

Service in Evinston is limited to its Alachua County portion. The community also extends into Marion County, which is outside this site's coverage.

Local Conditions

Branches above the roof in Evinston

Leaves and twigs from trees over a roof in Evinston land on the cap and slide against the screen. A flat lid collects them, and a clogged screen chokes the draft. Our specialists recommend a hip-shaped lid for chimneys under trees and check the screen on every sweep, so the fire keeps drawing and the metal dries between rains. A clean screen also shows early rust, so problems get caught while they're small.

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.

Top-sealing damper caps

A top-sealing damper cap combines a screen with a lid operated from the firebox. Its suitability depends on the fireplace and fuel. On an approved installation, the damper must be fully open before lighting and stay open until all fire and embers are out and the appliance instructions permit closure.

Because it seals at the top, it keeps rain, animals and outside air out of the entire flue, and it replaces a throat damper that has rusted or warped. Our pros fit it to the flue size, set the cable so it's easy to reach, and show you how it works. It must be fully open whenever there's a fire.

A cap isn't a chase cover

A factory-built fireplace's framed chase is topped by two separate metal parts: the listed cap on the chimney pipe, and the chase cover, the metal sheet that seals the top of the chase box around the pipe.

A leak or rust stain there can come from either one, and it's easy to blame the wrong part. Our specialists check both, tell you which part is failing, and price them separately. Replacing the cap won't stop a rusted chase cover from pooling water, and a new chase cover won't fix a cap that's lost its lid. Knowing which is which keeps you from paying for the wrong part.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

Does your cap service reach Evinston?

It does. Our pros fit caps across Alachua County, Evinston 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.

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 Evinston at (352) 675-6366.
