Signs you need chimney cap replacement

If you’re having trouble with your chimney, it may be time for chimney cap replacement.

A chimney cap is an important part of maintaining a safe and efficient fire. It ensures that air can flow freely through the chimney, preventing dangerous build-up of pressure that could result in fire or explosion. It also keeps rainwater out of the flue and prevents animals from entering the home through the fireplace opening.

If you notice any signs of damage to your chimney cap, it’s important to replace it immediately:

1. Debris or water pooling around your chimney stack
2. Cracks or holes in your existing cap
3. A rusted or damaged metal flue liner
