Why a Chimney Cap Matters
A chimney cap is a small but vital component that prevents water, debris, and animals from entering your chimney. If it’s damaged or missing, your home is at risk for serious chimney issues.
Common Chimney Cap Problems in NYC
- Rust and Corrosion: Metal caps can deteriorate due to constant exposure to the elements.
- Wind Damage: High winds in Manhattan’s skyscrapers or Brooklyn’s waterfront areas can loosen chimney caps.
- Animal Intrusion: Birds, squirrels, and raccoons can nest inside unprotected chimneys, causing blockages.
