Chimney Caps
Water from rain and snow entering chimneys gradually damages the inside of a chimney. Joints between liner tiles gradually dissolve. In fireplaces, this can cause heat, flames, creosote or gases to other parts of the home. In utility flues, corrosive elements in the exhaust mix with the water and slowly weaken the lining allowing gases to other parts of the home. Freezing and thawing of water cause expansion damage. A good chimney cap reduces this damage by keeping most of the water out.
Chimney caps can help with downdrafts. They keep birds and animals from nesting in the flues. Carbon monoxide (C.O.) can be emitted into the home due to a blocked chimney flue. Since C.O. is a dangerous exhaust that can enter the home due to a blocked flue, it is important to have a quality cap to help prevent this problem from occurring.

"Completion was delayed due to our inability to get electrical and plumbing completed. Once the preparations were complete we were very pleased with the quality of the workmanship. The fireplace works quite well and it is quite attractive. It is a classy addition to the room."
"We had Full Chimney reline the chimney on our 35 year old house and put on a new crown. The initial inspector provided photographic evidence of need for repair. We were very satisfied with the quality of the work and the politeness of the two man crew, Jacob and Ian. Jacob, the lead tech, carefully explained all our questions and took pains to avoid disturbing plantings around the..."
"Zach was extremely professional and knowledgeable and friendly during my chimney inspection. He explained everything clearly and had great suggestions."
"Sam did a great job cleaning our chimney in our new house. He was on time, courteous, and very professional. He recommended a few additional services, but also informed me it would not be unsafe to use the chimney until we had the available funds. If we end up fixing, we will absolutely use Full Service Chimney again."
"Kevin did a great job explaining the problems with my chimneys in my 1983 new home purchase. I am excited for my new gas fireplace they will install. I knew fireplaces that old probably would not facilitate burning wood."
