Imagine how much water would come into your home during a rainstorm if you had a hole in your roof twelve inches square. Chimney flues may be even larger than that, so where does all of that water go? It runs down the chimney and seeps into the bricks and mortar, settling behind the firebricks. There is little air circulation in the chimney (unless you’re using it) and no sunlight, soothe inside of the chimney stays wet longer after the rain stops. This moisture erodes the mortar joints and weakens the brick. Add to this a freeze/thaw cycle during the cold months, and you have all the needed ingredients for a deteriorating chimney. TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT ~ Even though you can’t see the damage happening— it’s there—slowly deteriorating your beautiful fireplace and chimney. This is a particularly important consideration if you have a metal firebox incorporating a metal damper and smoke shelf. All fireplace dampers made of metal are subject to this deterioration as the water mixes with creosote and mid acids are formed. Even chimneys serving wood stoves are in need of a cover. Our caps are 100% stainless steel and carry a lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion. Our technicians are trained in the proper installation of these caps and also the inspection of the chimney to insure that no animals or debris is left in the chimney that might cause a problem. Caps come in a variety of standard sizes, but in the chance that your chimney requires a special size or if you require copper, powder coating, etc., we offer custom caps as well. For more information on chimney caps, please visit: www.chimneycaps.net or call our office for more information. Please note: While our caps do have a lid that will serve to protect the area that they cover, and we do also offer caps that will cover the entire top of the chimney, there are times when a cap does not resolve the water entry problems. The water could be coming in from other areas besides simply down the flue. We recommend a thorough and proper inspection of the chimney as well. |
