Your chimney cap might be small, but it plays a huge role in protecting your chimney and home. At Meyer’s Chimney Sweep & Repair, we specialize in chimney cap and spark arrestor installation that meets building code and fire safety standards.
What Is a Chimney Cap?
A chimney cap is a metal covering installed at the top of your chimney flue. It serves multiple purposes, including:
-
Keeping out rain and snow
-
Preventing animal entry
-
Blocking debris and leaves
-
Stopping downdrafts
Why Install a Spark Arrestor?
Spark arrestors are screen-like mesh devices attached to the cap that prevent embers from escaping the chimney. This is especially important in dry, wooded, or suburban areas where flying sparks can ignite nearby roofs or vegetation.
