A cap that rattles or whistles in the wind

Hearing a rattle from the roof on windy nights? A loose cap bangs against the flue tile, and a damaged screen or lid can whistle. Left alone, the rattling loosens the cap further until it lets go.

Our pros refasten a sound cap with new hardware, or replace one that's bent or rusted at its clamps. They'll also check that the flue tile it's clamped to isn't cracked, since a cracked tile can't hold a cap. You'll hear which fix it needs and what it costs. Reserve a quiet, secure cap fitting in Tioga by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Fireplaces lit only now and then

Only a few fires a year? A chimney in Tioga still needs a cap. Between fires, the flue is an open invitation to rain, leaves and animals, and a damp flue smells.

A screened cap keeps it dry and empty, so it's ready when you want a fire. Our pros check it whenever they're on the roof. It also keeps the damper and smoke shelf from rusting between uses.

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.

Fastening a cap so it stays put

Glued-on caps, or ones held by a single loose screw, end up in the yard. Single-flue caps should clamp or bolt to the flue tile. Outside-mount caps fasten into the crown or the brick with anchors sized for masonry.

Our pros tighten fasteners evenly so the cap sits square and doesn't stress the tile, then check it by hand for any give. They use stainless hardware so the fasteners don't rust before the cap does. If the tile or crown is too damaged to hold a fastener, they'll say so before fitting anything, since a cap holds only as well as the masonry under it.

Listed caps for factory-built chimneys

Factory-built fireplaces and their metal chimneys are tested and listed as one system, and the cap is part of that system. Under the Florida Building Code, a decorative shroud may go on a factory-built chimney only if it's listed and labeled for that exact chimney.

Only the termination cap the maker lists for your model goes on, and the rating plate says which model you have. A cap from another brand might look similar but can change the draft and void the listing. If the listed part is discontinued, you'll hear what the maker offers instead and what it costs, before anything is ordered.

FAQs

Cap questions homeowners bring up

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.

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.
