At GMT Home Services we stress the importance of a chimney cap for safety and function of your chimney. A more functional and streamlined chimney cap is essential for a well maintained fireplace. A chimney cap’s main job is to keep rain and debris out of the chimney. Chimney cap also keeps hot ash and debris from exiting the chimney and landing on the roof, the number one cause of house fires worldwide. This risk can be eliminated with a screen below the cap. Plus a chimney cap prevents downdrafts which can cause smoke to enter your home instead of exiting the chimney.
Let GMT Home Services install the right chimney cap for you and your home. Call today for more info.
Professional inspections can find cracks that let smoke in or pose a fire risk. Over time chimney caps can deteriorate from rain, sun, water damage and temperature changes. Neglecting chimney cap repairs can lead to costly repairs or chimney rebuilding so catching problems early is key to avoiding expensive repairs.
A chimney cap sits on top of the chimney opening to keep rainwater and debris like leaves and twigs out of the flue. It also keeps small animals from getting in the chimney and building nests.

No matter how secure your chimney cap is attached severe weather conditions like strong winds can loosen it. This can cause the cap to blow off the chimney crown if it wasn’t properly fitted.
