What goes into a cap job in Alafaya
Practical points from our chimney cap installers in Alafaya.
Rust streaks running down from the chimney top
Orange or brown streaks on the crown, the brick or the siding below the chimney can come from a corroding cap, rusted fasteners or other metal at the top. The stain is a clue about where metal is breaking down.
We trace the streak back to its source before proposing anything. If the cap is the source, replacement with a corrosion-resistant cap addresses it. If the stain comes from flashing, a chase cover or a steel lintel, we tell you, because a new flue cap would leave that source in place. Cleaning existing stains is discussed separately when you want it.
Smoke at the fireplace after a cap change
If smoke starts spilling into the room after a new cap was installed, the cap is one of several things to check. A lid set too low, a screen that is too fine or a cap undersized for the flue can restrict the outlet.
Draft also depends on the flue size, the fireplace opening, the chimney height and the house itself, so a cap is not always the cause. We check the cap against the code's open-area rules and the manufacturer's data first. If the problem lies elsewhere, we tell you what we found and what we recommend next.

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on our work. On a cap replacement, that means the cap fits, sits level, holds firmly and the job site is left clean.
If something about the installation does not meet what we agreed, call us and we will come back to put it right. The guarantee covers our work as described in the approved estimate. It is part of how our family-owned business earns repeat calls and referrals in Alafaya and the surrounding area.
Looking after a chimney cap
A good cap needs little attention. The main tasks are checking that the screen is not clogged with soot or leaves and that the cap is still firmly attached, which a sweep can do at each cleaning.
After strong wind or a falling branch, take a look from the ground to see if the cap is still level and in place. If the fireplace is used often, the screen may need brushing between sweeps. A routine sweep visit is a good time to have the cap looked at as well.

Chimney cap questions from Alafaya
Answers from our specialists in Alafaya, with no sales pressure.
Will a new cap stop the water in my fireplace?
It stops rain entering through the open flue. Water that comes through a cracked crown, failed flashing or the brick needs its own repair. Our inspection checks each of those paths before we recommend a cap as the fix.
Can the cap come off when the chimney is swept?
It should. The Florida code expects a spark screen or cap to be removable for cleaning. We fasten caps securely while keeping them releasable, so the next sweep does not risk the tile or crown.
