Chimney Cap
Protective metal or concrete covering that shields your chimney from Ontario's harsh weather while preventing water damage, animal intrusion, and debris accumulation. Essential for preventing expensive water damage to chimney masonry, flue liner, and interior walls. A quality chimney cap prevents freeze-thaw damage to crown and brick, blocks raccoons and birds, and includes spark arrestors for fire safety. Signs you need a new cap include rust, cracks, or missing screens. Professional installation ensures proper fit, drainage, and compliance with Ontario building codes for optimal protection.
