Chimney Cap Installation

Measure the flue or crown to ensure proper fit, then clean the surface. Position the cap and secure it with stainless steel screws or adjustable clamps. For masonry crowns, pre-drill holes and use anchors if needed. Ensure mesh sides remain clear for ventilation. Check stability after installation. Inspect and clean periodically to maintain airflow and long-lasting performance.

Chimney Top Flashing

We removed the dome-shaped storm collar and old caulk, which often causes leaks, and replaced it with a permanent solution.

Measurements were taken to fabricate a new chimney top from high-grade copper.

The collar was soldered in place before cutting the opening, allowing us to test for leaks and ensure a watertight seal; superior to tabbed manufacturer methods that create failure points.

After testing, we cut the opening one inch smaller than the collar and folded the excess to form an internal “moat.” This added barrier catches any potential moisture, allowing it to evaporate instead of entering the chimney.
