Chimney Cap Installation Services
If you are a homeowner dealing with a chimney for the first time, it might be confusing to figure out what exactly is required for your chimney to function well. Not only are there many different add-ons in the market, but there seem to be so many pieces that are necessary for the chimney to function properly. One of these structures is the chimney cap.
What Are Chimney Cap Installation Services?
One of the most important questions that people will ask is if a chimney cap is actually necessary for the chimney to function. The answer is no, however, a chimney cap is essential if you want to prevent damage to your house and your chimney.
What a chimney cap does is that it is a protective covering that is made of either copper or steel mesh which will cover the top of your chimney spout. There are many styles and designs that you can choose from, but each mesh will feature a center that keeps things like snow, rain, and even detritus from easily entering your house and chimney.
This might seem like a relatively unnecessary function, after all, the heat of the fire will probably keep many things out. However, that is not always the case. For example, it is possible that animals and insects will enter your chimney during the off-season to create a nest or simply burrow in to explore. This might cause small creatures to fall into your fireplace. Worse still, you may start to use your fireplace again without knowing that there are live animals or combustible nesting materials within – increasing the chances of a chimney fire.
In fact, the chimney cap will also keep out other bits of trash, leaves, twigs, and other items that get blown into your flue. This is extremely important as having a blocked flue is extremely dangerous. It can either lead to ignition of the accumulated debris in your flue, leading to a chimney or a house fire, or even to an accumulation of carbon monoxide and smoke in your house, both of which can easily be deadly.
