Chimney cap work for homes in Wilton Manors
Deciding on related repairs in the same window
A cap job often turns up a related repair, such as a cracked tile top or a worn crown under a multi-flue cap. You may want to handle them together, or you may want to spread them out. Both are reasonable.
If you approve several items within 72 hours of your free inspection, you save 10% on each of them. If you approve only the cap now and the rest later, the later work is priced at the estimate's written figure. Either way, we explain which repairs protect the new cap and which can safely wait.
Roof access and protecting the roof
Reaching the chimney top means crossing part of the roof. Roof coverings differ in how well they take foot traffic, and some need careful stepping or boards to spread the load. We look at the roof around the chimney before climbing and plan the access to avoid damage.
If you know of loose or fragile areas, or a recent roof repair, tell us. We note the roof condition near the chimney in the findings. Where we see roof damage that is not ours to fix, we say so plainly, so you can call a roofer with a clear description.
A flue that serves another appliance
Some chimneys carry more than the fireplace flue. Another appliance, such as a water heater or a furnace, may vent through a separate flue in the same stack. That flue follows the rules and instructions for its own appliance, including what sits on top of it.
Tell us if anything besides the fireplace vents through the chimney. We identify what each flue serves before recommending a cap. A multi-flue cap over flues that serve different appliances has to suit all of them. Where it cannot, separate terminations are the safer route, and the estimate explains the reason.
Leaves and twigs in the firebox
Leaves, twigs and seed pods in the firebox are a common sign that the cap is missing, damaged or has a torn screen. They fall down the open flue and gather on the smoke shelf or the damper before reaching the fireplace floor.
Clear the loose material from the firebox if you like, but do not light a fire over it. Tell us what you found and roughly how much. We check the cap and the flue top, and we look for material that may be lodged higher up. The estimate then covers the cap and any clearing needed.

Settling chimney cap questions in Wilton Manors
Why does smoke come into the room after a cap was fitted?
A clogged screen, a lid set too low or a cap that is too small for the flue can hold smoke back. Stop using the fireplace and ask us to look at the cap and the flue before the next fire.
Does a chimney I do not use still need a cap?
An idle flue is still open to rain, leaves and animals, so a cap does useful work there. If you have plans for the fireplace later, mention them, because the flue and the appliance decide which cap suits it.
Should the crown be fixed before the cap is replaced?
If the crown is cracked where a multi-flue cap would fasten, yes, or the cap ends up mounted on a weak surface. We describe the crown during the free inspection and price that repair as a separate item.
