If debris or animal nests are clogging your flue, you could experience drafting problems and chimney fires. There are times when smoke and toxic gases are not able to exit out of your home from the chimney due to a debris or nest blocking it. In this case  you may experience smoke and soot damage, or even carbon monoxide poisoning. Make the decision to have a chimney cap installed and eliminate the possibility of something falling or crawling into your flue and making a home.  Chimney caps come in a number of different styles, materials, and colors. Which one should you choose? Copper and stainless steel are the most commonly used since they are the most durable and give the best performance. Another thing to consider is if you have a multi-flue chimney. One large custom-made chimney cap can be made to accommodate the actual size of your chimney. These styles of caps are very functional and help to protect the cement splay at the top of the chimney. You will see there is also a return hem that covers over the edge of the bricks on the brick top- another layer of protection!
