What Chimney Cap Installation Involves

A chimney cap is the cover at the top of your flue that keeps rain, animals, and debris out while letting smoke escape. Installing a quality cap is one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent water damage and blockages inside your chimney.

• Recommend a cap suited to your chimney and needs

Local Climate & Your Chimney in Ocean Ridge

As a waterfront community, Ocean Ridge exposes chimneys to a demanding mix of salt-laden air, high humidity, and hard seasonal downpours. That combination corrodes caps, dampers, and flashing faster than in drier climates, and storm-driven rain finds its way into small cracks in crowns and mortar. Regular checkups catch this coastal wear before it turns into water damage inside the home.

What Actually Wears Out a Chimney in Ocean Ridge

Fireplaces in Ocean Ridge see very little burning, so most of what goes wrong here has nothing to do with fire. It is weather and time: rusted caps, cracked crowns, failed flashing and water working its way down an unused flue. The chimney is exposed to sun, salt and storms every single day whether it is ever lit or not.
