Our approach to chimney caps in Keene's Pointe
What our pros check and why, on cap jobs across Keene's Pointe.
Factory-built chimneys take the listed top
A factory-built chimney, the metal system common with prefabricated fireplaces, is tested as a set of parts. Its termination cap is one of those parts, and the manufacturer's instructions name which cap belongs on it.
Fitting a generic masonry cap to a metal chimney pipe can change the system from the way it was listed. When we find a factory-built chimney, we look for the product information and propose the matching termination. If the make cannot be identified from the parts we can see, we tell you what that means for the replacement before ordering.
Chimney swifts and the timing of a cap installation
Chimney swifts are birds that roost and nest inside chimneys, and they appear on the federal list of birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. An active nest is not something to cap over or pull out.
If you hear chattering from the flue, especially in the warmer months, mention it when you book. We confirm what is inside before scheduling the cap and explain how the timing works for your chimney. Once the birds have left and the flue is clear, the new cap and screen keep the next season's visitors out.
A rattle or hum coming from the chimney cap
A loose lid, a screen that has come away from its frame or a fastener that has worked free can make noise in the wind. Sometimes the sound carries down the flue into the room.
We check each connection on the cap and the attachment to the tile or crown. Tightening or replacing a single fastener can fix it when the cap is otherwise sound. A cap with a bent lid or a loose screen seam is usually a candidate for replacement. You get the reason in writing before any part is ordered.
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 Keene's Pointe
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Keene's Pointe is free.
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 same cap cover the furnace flue too?
Not by assumption. A furnace or water heater flue vents differently from a fireplace, and its venting instructions decide what may sit on top. We identify every flue before quoting, price the fireplace cap on its own and point you to the right service for an appliance flue.
