Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How do I Replace the Chimney Cap on My Chimney?

Installation of a chimney cap is always an important consideration to make. It protects the chimney from different elements that can hamper overall function and appearance of the chimney as well. An open chimney is a suitable place for the debris and dust to get inside. Birds can even get into the chimney without any barrier. And most importantly, the rain water can move into the chimney while damaging the chimney liner, bricks and the joints. So, it's always important to install a chimney cap. If you have installed it before and now you wish to replace it with a new one, then you should pay attention towards a few elements. First of all, you need to have a keen look at the size of the chimney on the basis of which the size of the chimney cap can be decided. At the same time, you need to pay attention towards the material of the chimney cap. Stainless steel caps can work fine on a long run. These items are durable and can withstand against odd weather conditions in the best possible manner.

In the market you can also find multiple flues and single flue chimney caps. This helps you to choose the one that meets your requirements in the best possible manner. When you are buying a chimney cap to replace it with the old one, you should go for the one that comes with the instructions like how to maintain and how to fix it. In this way, you can follow such instructions and can fix the chimney cap easily. Taking down the incorrect measurements can result in buying an ill-fitting cap and adding some unnecessary steps to your installation process. Before going up on a ladder, ensure you have outlined measurements you want to take as well as bring measuring tape, pad of paper or dark pencil. Suppose you've one square flue, then measure outside width and length in the inches. For the round flues, note inside diameter in the inches of an innermost pipe, and outside diameter. For the multiple flues, measure height of a tallest flue, and width of the rectangle big to cover all the flues.

Inappropriate Chimney Cap Metal

Selecting the wrong cap will lead to the safety issues, like chimney fires, and draft or other weather elements coming in. For the gas logs, you need to avoid the galvanized caps as they will cause the corrosive exhaust, which can damage your house. The galvanized chimney caps need extensive maintenance in order to avoid the rust from forming or destroying inside of the chimney and your siding. The copper and stainless steel caps are quite expensive, but need less of maintenance.

Unsecured Caps

Any loosely installed caps or one that don't need screws, are on higher risk to fly off in strong winds or causing permanent damage to your home or neighbors home. In order, to avoid such problem, be away from the chimney caps, which slide in flue and don't require any additional screws and glue to secure it in proper place.
