The Importance of Chimney Caps

Chimney caps seem unassuming, but they actually do a lot of different things to keep your chimney protected! A well-fitted cap made from appropriate materials should do the following:

  • Keep out water and moisture
  • Prevent animals from entering and building nests
  • Block downdrafts from swooping through your flue
  • Serve as spark arrestors, keeping embers and sparks from landing on roofing materials and flammable debris
  • Stop outside debris (trash, leaves, twigs, etc.) from flying into the flue and clogging things up

Your chimney itself – that sturdy, masonry structure – gets a lot of credit for withstanding wear and tear. It stands tall through bad weather, harsh winds, and all of the acidic vapors your system pumps through it, and when properly maintained it can offer a lot of protection for decades.

But what about the other components that make up your system? The ones set in place to help the chimney effectively do its job? Two pieces of chimney anatomy that play a big role in this (but seem to get little recognition) are the chimney cap and the chimney damper.

Why a Top-Sealing Damper Is the Right Choice

Now, a damper is important for sealing up your chimney when it’s not in use, as well as ensuring there’s a wide-open path for smoke to escape through when it is in use. Traditionally, fireplaces were set up with a throat damper near the bottom of the flue. While these have done an effective enough job for decades, sweeps are now urging homeowners to consider upgrading to a top-sealing damper instead.

Why are these the better option? Well, a top-sealing damper is positioned at the top of the chimney, like a chimney cap. These dampers close tightly with a rubber gasket, so you’re getting a better seal than that metal-on-metal one their counterparts offer.

In the end, both dampers and caps are essential, and both need to be fitted right and installed properly to ensure the best results possible. That’s where our professional care comes in! We use premium products, are highly educated, and make it a priority to invest in educational training and re-certification, as necessary. When you count on us, you won’t be getting subpar service from subpar sweeps. Make the right choice by giving us a call today!
