Caps & Dampers: What You Can't See Can Hurt You
An open chimney flue is a highway for water, animals, and debris to enter your home. A missing or damaged cap allows rain to destroy your chimney from the inside, while a leaky damper can cost you hundreds in energy bills.
Severe Water Damage: Rain flows directly into the chimney, eroding masonry, rusting dampers, and leading to costly structural repairs.
Animal Infestations: Squirrels, raccoons, and birds can nest in your chimney, creating blockages that cause smoke and carbon monoxide to enter your home.
Increased Energy Bills: A leaky or missing damper is like leaving a window open all winter, letting heated air escape right up the chimney.
