- Prevent water from entering chimney
Keeping rain, snow and excessive moisture out of your chimney is vital. When water mixes with creosote, it erodes the brick and mortar, creating a serious fire risk.
- Prevent animals from entering and nesting in your chimney
Animals are attracted to the heat of your chimney. Without a cap, animals can easily nest inside your chimney and cause a fire hazard.
- Stop wind backdraft
Caps can reduce and in some instances stop draft problems. Most chimney caps can use wind to maximize updraft and minimize smoke inside the home.
- Arrests sparks and ash
Without caps, embers from a fire can stray from your chimney and settle on your roof, a neighbor’s roof or other objects.
- Prevent debris build up
Chimney caps will prevent outside debris from entering an open flue.
