Harsh New England weather can be relentless on our chimneys here on the Cape. Exposed flues without caps are a perfect avenue for snow and rain to enter the chimney causing damage to interior flue liners as well as corrosion of dampers, cleanouts, and metal connector pipes.

Animals and birds find our chimneys to be a perfect shelter for nesting and having their young. Nesting material from birds and squirrels can completely block a heating system flue causing carbon monoxide to back up into the home. These are not marketing scare tactics, but real life situations that TOP TO BOTTOM encounters every day out in the field!


A chimney cap will:

• Save you from costly repairs due to water damage, keeping out wind driven rain and snow.
  
  
• Protect you from carbon monoxide hazards by preventing animals and birds from nesting in your flues (they also carry diseases).
  
  
• Keep your family safe by preventing fly-ash and embers from entering your gutters or landing on a cedar shingle roof, causing a structure fire.
  
  
• Assist in preventing "down drafts" which can push flue gases and smoke back into your home causing chimney odor and health problems.
