A cap that rattles or whistles in the wind

Hearing a rattle from the roof on windy nights? A loose cap bangs against the flue tile, and a damaged screen or lid can whistle. Left alone, the rattling loosens the cap further until it lets go.

Our pros refasten a sound cap with new hardware, or replace one that's bent or rusted at its clamps. They'll also check that the flue tile it's clamped to isn't cracked, since a cracked tile can't hold a cap. You'll hear which fix it needs and what it costs. Reserve a quiet, secure cap fitting in Fairbanks by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Inserts that throw sparks

If a wood insert heats your home in Fairbanks, the chimney sees long, hot fires and more embers than an occasional fireplace. A code-sized spark screen catches them before they reach the roof or the gutters. Our specialists fit screens that meet the building code and clean them on every sweep, since an insert's deposit plugs mesh faster. A clean screen keeps the draft strong through long heating fires.

Single-flue caps against crown-covering caps

A single-flue cap clamps onto one flue tile. It's compact and inexpensive, and it's the right choice for a chimney with one flue standing well above the crown.

An outside-mount cap is a bigger unit with a screened skirt, spanning every flue and anchored at the chimney's edge. It covers several flues at once and shelters the crown from rain. Our specialists weigh how many flues you have, their heights and the condition of the crown, then recommend one or the other with the reasons. Both are priced so you can compare. Either one is fastened with stainless hardware. Neither needs glue.

Caps on flues that vent gas appliances

A flue serving a gas furnace or water heater carries exhaust that has to leave freely. The Brick Industry Association advises checking the maker's data on each cap's effect on gas exhaust, because a poorly chosen cap can restrict it.

Appliance flues get caps made for them, sized so the exhaust isn't slowed, and fine spark mesh stays off where it isn't needed. Our pros also check the flue lining, since an appliance flue has its own requirements. You'll get a separate price for each flue's cap, with the reasons behind the type chosen. Fireplace flues and appliance flues get different cap designs.

A cap is only as good as the crown under it

Every cap sits on the crown or on the flue tile that rises through it. If the crown is cracked or crumbling, water gets into the chimney through the crown no matter how good the cap is, and an outside-mount cap anchored into a weak crown won't hold.

That's why the crown gets a close look every time a cap is fitted. Hairline cracks can be sealed; open cracks and loose pieces call for a crown repair first. Doing the crown and the cap together means one setup on the roof, and each job has its own price line so you can see what you're paying for.

FAQs

Before you order a chimney cap

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.

Can one cap cover all my flues?

In many chimneys, yes. One outside-mount cap can span the crown and cover every flue, which also shelters the concrete. Our specialists check flue heights first to be sure it suits yours.
