A clogged screen choking the fire

Fire slow to draw even after a sweep? Look up. A spark screen coated with soot and flakes cuts the space smoke has to leave through, and the fire begins to smoke into the room.

Our specialists clean a clogged screen if it's sound, and replace the cap if the mesh is rusted through or too fine for your fires. A screen that plugs quickly can point to wet wood or smoldering fires, and they'll mention that too. Either way, the draft comes back. Reserve a cap cleaning or replacement for your home in Island Grove by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Homes in Island Grove are part of the Alachua County ground our pros cover. Island Grove is an inland service location, separate from the sea coast.

Local Conditions

Metal chimneys on inland homes

Only the cap listed for its chimney system belongs on a factory-built fireplace in Island Grove. Inland, the maker's standard cap holds up well when it's the right part and properly fastened. Our specialists read the rating plate, fit the listed cap and check the chase cover beneath it, since that's where rust and leaks can start. The chase cover and the cap each have their own line on the quote.

A screen you can get to for cleaning

Screens collect soot, and a clogged screen chokes the fire. The Florida Building Code wants a spark arrestor to be accessible for cleaning, with the screen or cap removable so the flue itself can be cleaned too.

Caps from our pros come off with ordinary tools and go back on the same way, so a sweep doesn't mean prying off a glued lid. They also avoid fastening methods that make the cap a permanent part of the chimney. When you book a sweep later, the cap comes off, the flue gets brushed and the screen gets cleaned in one visit. That saves you a second trip on the roof.

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.

Flues at different heights under one cap

In chimneys with more than one flue, the tiles can stand at different heights. Under an outside-mount cap, a tall flue close to a short one can push smoke across into the short one, especially when both are in use.

Heights and spacing get measured before a multi-flue cap is recommended, and the cap is sized to clear the tallest flue with room for smoke to escape. Where flues are badly mismatched, separate caps may work better. You'll see the reasoning and both prices before choosing. Getting it right keeps smoke from one fireplace out of the room served by the other.

FAQs

Before you order a chimney cap

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.

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.
