Leaves and twigs piling on the damper

Opening the damper and getting a shower of leaves? An open flue, or a cap with a torn screen, lets debris fall straight in, and it piles on the smoke shelf where the next fire can light it.

Our pros clear what's there, check the flue for nesting material, and fit a cap with a whole screen and a lid shaped to shed leaves. If trees overhang the roof, a hip-shaped lid sheds debris better than a flat one. The cap price includes the cleanup. Reserve a cap that keeps the debris out in Worthington Springs by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Woods at the edge of the yard

If your property in Worthington Springs backs onto woods or fields, animals looking for shelter find an uncapped flue quickly. Once one has moved in, others follow the scent.

A cap with a sound screen on every side is the fix. Our specialists check the flue is empty before fitting it, so nothing gets trapped inside. If something has already moved in, our animal removal pros handle it before the cap goes on.

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.

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.

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.
