What Chimney Cap Installation Involves

Local Climate & Your Chimney in Tequesta
Homes in Tequesta sit close to the water, where humid air, heavy seasonal rain, and salt carried off the water are tough on chimney systems. Salt air accelerates rust on metal components like caps, dampers, and flashing, while wind-driven rain and tropical storms work moisture into mortar joints and crowns. Catching that wear early is the key to avoiding leaks and costly masonry damage.
What Actually Wears Out a Chimney in Tequesta
Fireplaces in Tequesta 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.
