Something moved into the chimney

Scratching in the flue, twigs on the damper or a smell you can't place? An uncapped chimney looks like a hollow tree to plenty of animals, and once one moves in, the next one follows. Clearing the flue is the first step, and the cap is what keeps it clear.

Our specialists make sure nothing is living in the flue before the cap goes on, then fit a screened cap sized to it. If something is nesting, our animal removal pros deal with that first, the right way. Reserve a screened cap for your chimney in Waldo by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Waldo recorded a population of 846 in the 2020 Census. Waldo is an inland service location, separate from the sea coast.

Local Conditions

Open lots and wind-driven rain

A home in Waldo with little around it to break the wind gets rain driven sideways across the chimney top. A lid with a small overhang lets that rain blow straight into the flue. Our pros pick a cap with a generous overhang and enough height for smoke, so the flue stays dry without hurting the draft. Where the chimney stands tall above the roof, that overhang matters even more.

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.

Rust stains on brick below a cap

Orange stains running down the chimney from the top trace back to a rusting cap in many cases. As the galvanized coating fails, rust washes off the lid and screen with every rain and soaks into the brick below.

Swapping in a stainless or copper cap stops the source, and then the staining can be dealt with. Once the source is gone, the stain stops growing, and cleaning can lighten what's there. Cleaning methods are chosen to suit the brick, since harsh acids can damage it. The cap and any cleaning are priced as separate items. The new cap stops fresh stains the day it goes on.

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

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.

Why did my old cap blow off?

In most cases it was glued on, held by too few screws, or rusted at its clamps. Our pros clamp or bolt the new one in place with stainless hardware. Reserve a secure replacement in Waldo at (352) 675-6366.
