Caps for factory-built fireplaces

Is your fireplace a metal unit with a metal chimney pipe running up a framed chase? Its cap has to be the one listed for that system, since the maker tested the fireplace, chimney and cap together.

Our specialists find the cap your model calls for from the rating plate and fit it the way the manual shows. A generic cap from another brand can change how the unit drafts and break the listing. If the chase cover under the cap is rusting, you'll get a separate price for that too. Check with a local pro about the cap for your factory-built fireplace in Orange Heights by calling (352) 675-6366.

Orange Heights lies inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Orange Heights is roughly 13 straight-line miles from the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

Inserts that throw sparks

If a wood insert heats your home in Orange Heights, the chimney sees long, hot fires and more embers than an occasional fireplace. A code-sized spark screen catches them before they reach the roof or the gutters. Our specialists fit screens that meet the building code and clean them on every sweep, since an insert's deposit plugs mesh faster. A clean screen keeps the draft strong through long heating fires.

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.

Measuring a flue for a cap

Clay flue tiles are sized by their outside dimensions, and they're rarely exact. Our specialists measure each tile's outside width and length, how far it stands above the crown, and whether it's square to the chimney.

Those numbers decide whether a stock cap fits or one has to be made to measure. They also show whether the tile stands tall enough above the crown for a clamp-on cap to grip. A cap ordered from a guess either won't fit or will fit loosely and rattle. The measuring takes a few minutes on the roof and saves a wasted trip. Our pros write the sizes on your quote.

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.

FAQs

Before you order a chimney cap

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.

Does a cap need cleaning?

The screen does, since soot and flakes collect on it. Our pros clean it on every sweep, and caps they fit come off with ordinary tools so the flue can be brushed too.
