Why we measure before we order

Caps come in dozens of sizes, and flue tiles vary more than you'd think. A cap that's too small won't fit over the tile, and one that's too big rattles and lets rain blow in under the lid.

Each flue tile's outside size, its height above the crown and the crown itself go on the measuring sheet, and the cap is matched to those numbers. Stock sizes can go on the same visit; made-to-measure caps come on a second trip. You'll know which before you agree to anything. Ask for a cap measure at your home in High Springs by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Storm wind well inland

Tropical storms can carry strong wind and heavy rain far from the coast, as NOAA's National Hurricane Center points out. Homes in High Springs feel that wind at the chimney top.

A cap held by rusted clamps or a single screw is the one that lifts off. Our pros fasten caps with stainless clamps or anchors and check them for any give before they leave.

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.

Replacing a cap lost to wind

When a cap blows off, the flue is open to rain from that moment. Our specialists check the flue tile at the top for cracks, since a cap tearing loose can take a piece of tile with it, and check the crown for fresh damage.

The replacement is fastened properly, clamped or bolted rather than glued, so the next storm doesn't take it too. If the tile or crown was damaged, the repair is priced separately and can happen on the same visit. If rain is due before the new cap can go on, a temporary cover keeps the flue dry until then.

Rust stains on brick below a cap

Orange stains running down the chimney from the top trace back to a rusting cap in many cases. As the galvanized coating fails, rust washes off the lid and screen with every rain and soaks into the brick below.

Swapping in a stainless or copper cap stops the source, and then the staining can be dealt with. Once the source is gone, the stain stops growing, and cleaning can lighten what's there. Cleaning methods are chosen to suit the brick, since harsh acids can damage it. The cap and any cleaning are priced as separate items. The new cap stops fresh stains the day it goes on.

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.

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 High Springs at (352) 675-6366.
