Worried about sparks on the roof

Burn wood and notice embers drifting out of the chimney on a lively fire? A spark screen catches them before they land on dry leaves in the gutter or on the roof. The Florida Building Code sets how that screen is made, from its mesh size to its open area.

A cap with a screen that meets those rules, sized to catch embers without choking the draft, is what goes on your chimney. Our pros also clean an existing screen if it's simply clogged rather than damaged, and tell you which you need. Talk to our cap specialists about a spark screen in Hampton by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Copper caps over metal roofs

If your home in Hampton has a metal roof, the cap metal matters for more than looks. Runoff from copper can corrode zinc-coated and aluminum roofing below it. Our pros choose a cap metal that won't harm the roof and fasten it with hardware that suits both, and they'll explain the reason for their choice. Stainless tends to be the safe pick over metal roofing.

Room for the smoke to get out

Smoke has to leave the cap as easily as the flue delivers it. The Florida Building Code requires a spark arrestor's net free area to be at least four times the net free area of the flue outlet it serves.

Too little open area, or a screen half-clogged with soot, backs smoke up into the room. Our specialists check that number when they choose a cap, especially for large flues and multi-flue caps, where it's easy to undersize. If a cap on your chimney now falls short, they'll show you why the fire has been sluggish and what fixes it.

Fastening a cap so it stays put

Glued-on caps, or ones held by a single loose screw, end up in the yard. Single-flue caps should clamp or bolt to the flue tile. Outside-mount caps fasten into the crown or the brick with anchors sized for masonry.

Our pros tighten fasteners evenly so the cap sits square and doesn't stress the tile, then check it by hand for any give. They use stainless hardware so the fasteners don't rust before the cap does. If the tile or crown is too damaged to hold a fastener, they'll say so before fitting anything, since a cap holds only as well as the masonry under it.

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.

FAQs

Your chimney cap questions, answered

Can the cap go on the same day you inspect?

When your flue takes a stock size that's on hand, yes. Made-to-measure and multi-flue caps are fitted on a second trip once they're made. You'll know which before you agree to anything.

Why did my old cap blow off?

In most cases it was glued on, held by too few screws, or rusted at its clamps. Our pros clamp or bolt the new one in place with stainless hardware. Reserve a secure replacement in Hampton at (352) 675-6366.
