Chimney Caps
A chimney cap is one of the least expensive investments you can make to protect your chimney — and one of the most effective. Coastal Chimney Sweeps installs and replaces chimney caps and crowns for homeowners throughout Beverly, Salem, Peabody, Gloucester, and the entire North Shore of Massachusetts.
Without a cap, your flue is open to rain, snow, animals, and debris every single day. A properly fitted stainless steel or copper cap solves all of these problems and pays for itself quickly in reduced cleaning and repair costs.
The cap is the metal cover that sits over the flue opening. The crown is the concrete or mortar slab that surrounds the flue at the top of the chimney. Both are important — we inspect and service both at the same visit. Cracked crowns allow water to enter the chimney structure and should be repaired promptly.
