Three reasons
every chimney needs a cap
1. Rain protection -water causes the greatest
damage to your chimney of any of the elements.
It soaks into the porous bricks, eats away at the mortar, hastens
the destruction of the chimney liner, and destroys the chimney
crown. A Chimney Caps does a great job of protecting your chimney
from water damage. For maximum chimney protection we recommend
a multi-flue cap. That's because a multi-flue cap covers the entire
chimney, not just one flue. More chimney damage is
caused by the lack of a Chimney Caps than any other source. Rain
causes premature deterioration to the chimney interior and can
damage metal fireboxes and dampers. It can also erode flue tiles
and mortar joints, causing them to crumble and leave dangerous
cracks and blockages.
2. Animal protection -one of the great sources
of danger to homeowners is the threat of disease from animals
like raccoons, squirrels, birds, and rodents that make their home
in chimneys. A well-made Chimney Caps will keep those animals
out of your home forever. Sturdy mesh and a strong lid keep even
the most determined critters at bay. Animals see all uncapped
chimney as an open invitation to move in -unfortunately, they
bring with them a variety of evils. Birds and animals carry diseases
such as rabies and histoplasmosis. Bird droppings combine with
rain to create a terrible smell. And, once a squirrel or raccoon
gets into your chimney, it may also enter your home where it can
cause untold damage to furniture, drapes, and carpets, Animals
nesting in your chimney are also an unnerving source of chatter
and commotion. And, their nests can result in dangerous flue blockages.
3. Spark protection -the mesh screen protects
your home from sparks emitted from your chimney. That means less
danger of a fire caused by stray sparks from your fireplace or
woodstove. A chimney without a proper cap may allow airborne embers
to ignite shingles, leaves, trees, or grass.
