Why Chimney Caps Are Important

A properly installed chimney cap helps prevent rain and moisture from entering the chimney, which can lead to liner damage, masonry deterioration, and draft problems. Chimney caps also keep animals, birds, and debris from entering the flue while improving airflow and reducing downdrafts. Homes without chimney caps are more likely to experience inspection failures and long-term damage.
