A cap that doubles as a damper

A throat damper that cannot be repaired may have more than one replacement option. On a suitable wood-burning fireplace, a top-sealing damper cap combines screening with a cable-operated lid. The fuel and appliance requirements must permit a closable flue before that option is selected.

Closed, it keeps rain, animals and outside air out of the whole flue, and conditioned air stays in the house. Our pros fit it to your flue size and walk you through opening it all the way whenever a fire is planned. It's priced alongside a standard cap so you can compare.

Local Conditions

Rust streaks from an old cap

Even away from salt, an old galvanized cap on a home in Lawtey eventually loses its zinc and starts to rust. The streaks it leaves on the brick keep growing with each rain.

Replacing it with stainless stops the source. Our pros can then look at cleaning the brick, with a method chosen to suit the masonry. The brick and the cap are priced separately, so you can do one or both.

Quieting a rattling cap

Rattling in the wind means a cap is working itself loose. Each gust knocks it against the tile, wears the fastener holes wider and can chip the tile's edge.

First job is finding what's loose. A sound cap on a sound tile gets new stainless fasteners and is tightened evenly. A cap with bent legs or rusted clamps gets replaced. A tile with a chipped or cracked top may need repair before any cap can grip it properly. You'll hear which applies, with the price, and the rattling stops once it's fixed. A quiet cap is a secure cap, and that's what keeps it on through the next storm.

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.

A cap isn't a chase cover

A factory-built fireplace's framed chase is topped by two separate metal parts: the listed cap on the chimney pipe, and the chase cover, the metal sheet that seals the top of the chase box around the pipe.

A leak or rust stain there can come from either one, and it's easy to blame the wrong part. Our specialists check both, tell you which part is failing, and price them separately. Replacing the cap won't stop a rusted chase cover from pooling water, and a new chase cover won't fix a cap that's lost its lid. Knowing which is which keeps you from paying for the wrong part.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

Does your cap service reach Lawtey?

It does. Our pros fit caps across Bradford County, Lawtey included, and they check the flue top and crown for free before quoting. Rain, animals or smoke, let us know which one brought you to the phone.

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.
