Here is why we always recommend a cap. If this little fellow is in your chimney you need our services. They love the living area of an unused fireplace chimney. 
This is an oil burner flue that has been damaged by rain water. This damage has caused the flue to decay, but could have been prevented by installing a cap. 
Here is a flue from a fireplace. This flue has shifted and is open to the home. The damage was caused by water turning to ice, then pushing the flue to the side, allowing an exposure or opening as shown here. 
A common problem we find is wood stoves liners that were installed without insulation. The UL rating requires that the stainless steel liner is insulated inside the chimney. In this photo installation is being installed with a insulated blanket and mesh covering for protection as per the manufacturers suggested recommendation. 
Metal Chimney restored to a safe condition. This was once a open hole in the roof. The chimney here was reopened on the inside and a new cover was installed with a top cap adding new life to an old chimney. 
This is a very damaged chase cover. Most times these chase covers can not be seen from the ground and the damage can get this bad. The second problem here was that the builder installed the wrong materials. We can remove this chase cover and install a new custom cover made with stainless steel. See photo below. 
Mike has just replaced the old tin top chase cover and replaced it with a new stainless steel chase cover with caps. 
When looking up at the top of the chimney the chimney caps look so much smaller, but look at it on the ground next to Zach. |
