What We Do

Your Chimney's First Line of Defense

A chimney without a cap is an open hole in your roof. Rain pours in, soaking the flue liner, damper, and firebox. Animals nest inside — raccoons, birds, and squirrels are common in Wichita. Leaves and debris accumulate, creating blockages that trap dangerous gases. And in windy conditions, downdrafts push smoke right back into your living room.

A properly fitted chimney cap solves all of these problems. We install stainless steel and copper caps sized to your specific flue, with spark arrestor mesh that meets code requirements. It's one of the most affordable and effective upgrades you can make to protect your chimney system.

What It Prevents

A Cap Protects Against

  • Rain and snow — water inside the flue rusts dampers, cracks liner tiles, and causes staining
  • Animals — raccoons, birds, and squirrels nest inside uncapped chimneys
  • Leaves and debris — blockages trap carbon monoxide and create fire hazards
  • Downdrafts — wind-resistant caps redirect airflow so smoke goes up, not down
  • Sparks — mesh spark arrestor prevents embers from landing on your roof

Common Questions

Chimney Cap FAQ

What does a chimney cap do?
A chimney cap sits on top of your flue and covers the opening. It keeps out rain, snow, animals, leaves, and debris while still allowing smoke and gases to vent properly. Most caps also include a spark arrestor mesh that prevents embers from landing on your roof.
How do I know if I need a new chimney cap?
If your current cap is rusted, dented, has damaged or missing mesh, or is no longer securely attached, it should be replaced. If you don't have a cap at all, you definitely need one — it's one of the most common issues we find during inspections.
What kind of chimney cap do you install?
We install stainless steel and copper chimney caps custom-sized to fit your specific flue. Stainless steel caps come with a lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion. For multi-flue chimneys, we can install a full-coverage top-mount cap that protects the entire chimney crown.
Can a chimney cap help with downdrafts?
Yes. Wind-resistant and draft-increasing cap designs can significantly reduce downdrafts that push smoke back into your home. If you're dealing with persistent downdraft problems, we'll evaluate your chimney and recommend the right cap style to solve it.
