Chimney Caps

Do you have a chimney? Have you noticed issues with your flue? Is your chimney rusted on top? A chase cover or chimney cap is designed to prevent water from entering the inside of the chimney, and this chimney chase cover is typically made of less expensive sheet metal. 

Unfortunately, a rusted chimney cap or chase cover is more than just a cosmetic problem. This could be an indication of a much more serious issue. Atlantic Craftsman Co experts will come out, measure, and have a custom fabricated chase cover installed for you. All of our chase covers come with a 10-year installation guarantee.

Five Reasons to Have Your Chimney Caps Repaired or Replaced

• Reduce moisture and keep the rain out: Rain and moisture can cause mold and mildew, not to mention it can create damage to chimney mortar joints, chimney dampers, and stainless steel chimney liners. A chimney cap will keep the water from coming down into your liner and into your family’s home
• Keep the critters and animals out: Installing chimney caps will prevent animals such as birds, raccoons, or squirrels from entering your chimney. These animals tend to, in many cases, find their way into your chimney, but are not able to exit, and eventually die leaving unpleasant odors or even maggots. 
•  Eliminate down drafts: Chimney caps eliminate downdrafts, which can potentially cause hazardous smoke into your home if you are using a wood-burning fireplace due to shifts in the wind.
• Fire safety by stopping embers and sparks: Stop fly away embers from exiting your chimney and making contact with dry leaves, other debris, or your patio furniture, canopies, or landscaping which could be large fire hazards for your home with a chimney cap.
• Prevent debris and leave build-up; Debris, such as leaves, pine needles, branches, and other materials can fly into your chimney, get stuck with the sap on them, and start to build up within your chimney and cause a possible blockage that could lead to smoke inhalation into your home or even a fire hazard. Installing a chimney cap on your chimney will prevent this from happening to your home
