Something moved into the chimney

Scratching in the flue, twigs on the damper or a smell you can't place? An uncapped chimney looks like a hollow tree to plenty of animals, and once one moves in, the next one follows. Clearing the flue is the first step, and the cap is what keeps it clear.

Our specialists make sure nothing is living in the flue before the cap goes on, then fit a screened cap sized to it. If something is nesting, our animal removal pros deal with that first, the right way. Reserve a screened cap for your chimney in Fanning Springs by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Inserts that throw sparks

If a wood insert heats your home in Fanning Springs, 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.

Stainless against galvanized steel

Galvanized steel is carbon steel protected by a layer of zinc. The zinc protects the steel until it wears through, and then rust starts, first on the screen and the lid seams, where water sits longest.

Stainless steel doesn't depend on a coating, so a scratch or a worn spot doesn't start a rust patch. It costs more up front and lasts much longer in the weather. Black caps can be painted galvanized or powder-coated stainless, and the difference matters. Our pros tell you exactly which metal a cap is made of, so you know what you're buying and how it will age.

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.

Lid shapes that shed leaves

Flat lids hold leaves, needles and twigs, and a pile on the lid holds moisture against the metal. Under trees, that pile can also slide down against the screen and block it.

Hip-shaped and pitched lids shed debris better, so the screen stays clear and the lid dries out between showers. Our pros ask about the trees around your roof when they recommend a lid shape. It's a small detail that makes a real difference in how soon the cap needs attention, and it doesn't change the fit on the flue. It also looks tidier from the street, since leaves don't pile up on top.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

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.

Will a cap stop my fireplace from smoking?

It can when wind is pushing down the flue or rain is soaking it. It won't fix a flue too small for the fireplace or a house pulling air in through the chimney. Our specialists find the cause first, then tell you if a cap is the answer.
