The chimney cap is the metal structure that rests over top your chimney to prevent debris, animals, or the elements from entering into your chimney without blocking the smoke from escaping. With so much exposure to the elements, it makes sense that your chimney cap may become worn or damaged over time. When this happens, you will need to schedule a chimney cap replacement. Here are a few tips on how to prepare for a chimney cap replacement.
