Pittsburgh Chimney Caps, Dampers, & Chase Covers

Chimney caps keep everything from critters to the elements out of your chimney, so make sure you select the best product possible for your home.

What do chimney caps do?

The most basic function of a chimney cap is to prevent anything from getting into your chimney, and subsequently into your home, while simultaneously allowing only smoke to escape.

Your standard chimney cap will prevent rain and precipitation out of your chimneys. Caps are crucial for chimney longevity, because nothing spells doom for a chimney faster than moisture!

A great feature to most caps are they come with a mesh screen that will act as a barrier to keep small animals, such as birds and squirrels, from setting up their own homes inside yours. And another added benefit to having a mesh screen on your chimney cap is this screen will help keep hot embers from getting on your roof. A few rogue embers on a dry roof could be a dangerous situation for any homeowner.

Problems Caused by Lack of Maintenance

Keeping your chimney caps and dampers in proper order is very simple with basic routine maintenance, and the benefits far outweigh the small cost.

The mesh on a chimney cap is very useful, but it can cause problems if it is neglected. The screen can become clogged with flammable creosote and soot without regular cleaning. The types of wood you burn produce different amounts of creosote that will gather in the flue and on the chimney cap screen. The same mesh screen that keeps animals and debris out and become completely clogged without regular maintenance. With a clogged chimney cap comes poor ventilation. Poor ventilation problems can range from difficulties starting and maintaining your fires to carbon monoxide fumes, which can be deadly, entering your home because of a lack of air flow out of your chimney.
