The cap came off in a storm
Found your chimney cap in the yard after a windy night? A cap that was glued on, fastened with too few screws or rusted at its clamp can lift off in a strong gust, and now the flue is wide open to rain.
The replacement is clamped or bolted to stay put, and while on the roof our specialists check the crown, the flue tile and the flashing for storm damage. If rain is on the way before the new cap arrives, a temporary cover can go on first. Reserve a storm cap replacement in Williston Highlands by phoning (352) 675-6366.
Our Williston Highlands coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. From the Gainesville reference point, Williston Highlands is about 26 miles away in a direct line.

Local Conditions
Metal chimneys on inland homes
Only the cap listed for its chimney system belongs on a factory-built fireplace in Williston Highlands. Inland, the maker's standard cap holds up well when it's the right part and properly fastened. Our specialists read the rating plate, fit the listed cap and check the chase cover beneath it, since that's where rust and leaks can start. The chase cover and the cap each have their own line on the quote.

How far the tile should stand above the crown
The flue tile should stand a little above the crown, so water running off the crown doesn't flow into the flue. The Brick Industry Association recommends the liner extend at least 2 inches above the crown.
A tile trimmed level with the concrete, or one that's broken off at the top, leaves nothing for a single-flue cap to clamp to and lets water in at the joint. Our pros check the height before recommending a cap. A short tile can take an outside-mount cap anchored into the crown or the brick instead, and you'll hear which suits your chimney. The measurement goes on your quote.
Single-flue caps against crown-covering caps
A single-flue cap clamps onto one flue tile. It's compact and inexpensive, and it's the right choice for a chimney with one flue standing well above the crown.
An outside-mount cap is a bigger unit with a screened skirt, spanning every flue and anchored at the chimney's edge. It covers several flues at once and shelters the crown from rain. Our specialists weigh how many flues you have, their heights and the condition of the crown, then recommend one or the other with the reasons. Both are priced so you can compare. Either one is fastened with stainless hardware. Neither needs glue.
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.
