The cap came off in a storm

Found your chimney cap in the yard after a windy night? A cap that was glued on, fastened with too few screws or rusted at its clamp can lift off in a strong gust, and now the flue is wide open to rain.

The replacement is clamped or bolted to stay put, and while on the roof our specialists check the crown, the flue tile and the flashing for storm damage. If rain is on the way before the new cap arrives, a temporary cover can go on first. Reserve a storm cap replacement in Haile Plantation by phoning (352) 675-6366.

We cover Haile Plantation along with the rest of our Alachua County area. The sea coast does not form part of Haile Plantation's boundary.

Local Conditions

Painted caps in full sun

A black cap on a home in Haile Plantation faces full sun on the roof. Paint on galvanized steel fades and chalks over time, and once it wears, the zinc underneath starts to go too. Our pros tell you whether a black cap is painted galvanized or powder-coated stainless, since the difference shows up a few years down the road. Stainless costs more at the start and keeps its looks far longer.

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.

What a downdraft cap can and can't fix

Wind-directional caps turn their opening away from the wind, and taller caps lift the flue outlet above swirling air. On a chimney that smokes only in certain winds, either can help.

No cap fixes a flue too small for the fireplace, a chimney that falls short of the rooflines near it, or a house pulling air in through the chimney. Our specialists rule those out before recommending a downdraft cap, so you don't pay for a fix aimed at the wrong cause. If a cap won't solve it, you'll hear what would. In some cases, a cap and a small change inside the house together solve it, and that combination is priced as well.

Copper caps and mixing metals

Copper looks great, but it doesn't get along with some other metals. Where copper touches galvanized steel or zinc, the two corrode each other, and roofing makers warn against mixing them.

Our pros fasten copper caps with copper or stainless hardware, keep copper from resting on galvanized flashing, and check where the cap's runoff lands. Water running off copper can stain light-colored masonry and roofing, so placement matters. The copper option comes with those details spelled out on the quote, so there are no surprises a year later. Copper caps are heavier than they look, so the anchors are sized for the weight as well as the wind.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

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.

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 Haile Plantation at (352) 675-6366.
