Bought a house with no chimney cap?

Plenty of chimneys have gone years without a cap. That means years of rain on the damper, leaves on the smoke shelf and maybe a nest or two in the flue.

Before a new cap goes on, our pros check the flue for anything living in it, clear what's there, and look at the damper and crown for water damage. Then they measure and fit a cap that suits the flue and the fuel you burn. You'll get the cap price and any repair prices on the quote first. Speak with our specialists about capping your chimney in Newberry by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Rust streaks from an old cap

Even away from salt, an old galvanized cap on a home in Newberry 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.

How the lid keeps rain out

Rain doesn't only fall straight down. Wind drives it sideways, and a lid that barely covers the flue lets it blow in under the edge. The lid's overhang and its height above the flue both change how much rain gets past.

A lid set too low, on the other hand, can crowd the smoke and hurt the draft. Our specialists choose a cap whose lid covers the flue with a margin and sits high enough for smoke to leave freely. On an outside-mount cap, the lid also shelters the crown, which keeps water off the concrete and the brick below it.

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.

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.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

Does your cap service reach Newberry?

It does. Our pros fit caps across Alachua County, Newberry 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.

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.
