Worried about sparks on the roof

Burn wood and notice embers drifting out of the chimney on a lively fire? A spark screen catches them before they land on dry leaves in the gutter or on the roof. The Florida Building Code sets how that screen is made, from its mesh size to its open area.

A cap with a screen that meets those rules, sized to catch embers without choking the draft, is what goes on your chimney. Our pros also clean an existing screen if it's simply clogged rather than damaged, and tell you which you need. Talk to our cap specialists about a spark screen in Yankeetown by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Yankeetown recorded a population of 588 in the 2020 Census. Yankeetown reaches the shoreline.

Local Conditions

Screens near the water

Thin spark screen wires are the first part of a cap to go where salt water is close. In Yankeetown, a screen can pit through while the lid still looks fine.

The mesh gets a close look from our pros, strand by strand. A screen with early pitting gets a written price for replacement before it opens up and lets animals in.

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.

Copper caps and mixing metals

Copper looks great, but it doesn't get along with some other metals. Where copper touches galvanized steel or zinc, the two corrode each other, and roofing makers warn against mixing them.

Our pros fasten copper caps with copper or stainless hardware, keep copper from resting on galvanized flashing, and check where the cap's runoff lands. Water running off copper can stain light-colored masonry and roofing, so placement matters. The copper option comes with those details spelled out on the quote, so there are no surprises a year later. Copper caps are heavier than they look, so the anchors are sized for the weight as well as the wind.

Cap metal where salt is in the air

Close to salt water, ordinary galvanized caps rust through fast, and even some stainless grades pit. The International Molybdenum Association lists nearness to salt water as a major corrosion risk and points to Type 316 stainless, since the molybdenum in it holds up against chloride pitting.

Some cap makers sell a marine-grade line in 316 for exactly that. Our specialists recommend it for chimneys near the coast, with stainless fasteners to match, and they check the screen and lid seams on every visit, since salt collects where water lingers. The 316 option is priced next to standard stainless so you can see the difference. The cap is worth checking at every sweep.

FAQs

Before you order a chimney cap

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.

What does the building code say about spark screens?

Florida's building code sets the mesh size, the screen's heat and corrosion resistance, and how much open area the cap needs. Our specialists fit screens that meet all of it and can tell you if yours doesn't. Talk to us about a code-sized screen for your home in Yankeetown at (352) 675-6366.
