Before the storm months arrive

Per NOAA's National Hurricane Center, the Atlantic hurricane season lasts from June 1 until November 30. A cap that's loose, rusted at the clamp or missing its lid is one of the first things strong wind takes off a chimney. Loose flashing and a cracked crown are the other two things wind finds first.

A pre-season visit covers the fastening, swaps out a cap that won't hold, and takes in the crown and flashing while our pros are up top. Getting it done ahead of the season means one less thing to worry about when a storm is in the forecast. Reserve a pre-season cap check at your home in Trenton at (352) 675-6366.

Neither the Gulf nor Atlantic coast reaches Trenton. Measured directly, about 28 miles separate Trenton from the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

Branches above the roof in Trenton

Leaves and twigs from trees over a roof in Trenton land on the cap and slide against the screen. A flat lid collects them, and a clogged screen chokes the draft. Our specialists recommend a hip-shaped lid for chimneys under trees and check the screen on every sweep, so the fire keeps drawing and the metal dries between rains. A clean screen also shows early rust, so problems get caught while they're small.

Choosing a cap by the job it has to do

A chimney cap can solve four different problems, and the best one for your home depends on which you have. Rain getting in calls for a lid with enough overhang. Animals call for a screen on every side. Sparks call for mesh that meets the building code.

Downdrafts may call for a taller or wind-directional cap, though a cap can't fix every draft problem. Our pros ask what you've noticed, look at the flue top and the roof around it, and then recommend the cap that solves your problem without adding ones you don't have. That way you're not paying for features that won't help.

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.

Caps on flues that vent gas appliances

A flue serving a gas furnace or water heater carries exhaust that has to leave freely. The Brick Industry Association advises checking the maker's data on each cap's effect on gas exhaust, because a poorly chosen cap can restrict it.

Appliance flues get caps made for them, sized so the exhaust isn't slowed, and fine spark mesh stays off where it isn't needed. Our pros also check the flue lining, since an appliance flue has its own requirements. You'll get a separate price for each flue's cap, with the reasons behind the type chosen. Fireplace flues and appliance flues get different cap designs.

FAQs

Cap fitting in Trenton? Start here

Will a cap stop my fireplace from smoking?

It can when wind is pushing down the flue or rain is soaking it. It won't fix a flue too small for the fireplace or a house pulling air in through the chimney. Our specialists find the cause first, then tell you if a cap is the answer.

Can one cap cover all my flues?

In many chimneys, yes. One outside-mount cap can span the crown and cover every flue, which also shelters the concrete. Our specialists check flue heights first to be sure it suits yours.
