Chimney Cap Repair & Replacement
A damaged cap is barely better than no cap. We repair or replace it so your flue stays protected.
Chimney caps take a beating: wind, weather, and years of exposure rust the metal, bend the frame, and tear the spark-arrestor screen. A damaged cap stops doing its job — and a cap that's rusted through or missing its screen is little better than an open flue, letting in water, animals, and embers.
Roosevelt Chimney Works repairs caps where it makes sense and replaces them where it doesn't. Because the cap protects against several expensive problems at once, keeping it in good condition is well worth the modest cost.
Signs your cap needs attention
- Rust, corrosion, or holes in the cap.
- A bent, loose, or partially detached cap.
- A torn or missing spark-arrestor screen.
- Animals or debris getting past a damaged cap.
- Water entering the flue despite a cap being present.
Repair or replace
We assess whether the existing cap can be secured, resealed, or rescreened, or whether corrosion and damage mean replacement is the better value. A cap that's structurally sound but loose or missing its screen can often be repaired; one that's rusted through should be replaced.
When replacement is the call, we fit a correctly sized cap that seals properly and includes a spark arrestor. Either way, you end up with a flue that's protected against water, wildlife, and debris.
Pittsburgh & Western PA context
The same freeze-thaw and storm exposure that wears Pittsburgh masonry is hard on chimney caps. We frequently find caps that have rusted or been dislodged over a few tough winters, quietly letting water into the flue long before the homeowner notices a stain inside.
