Chimney caps are a relatively small investment yet many homeowners wonder if they need one or don’t even think about it all, for that matter. The reality is that this small addition can prevent major issues down the line and, in effect, save the homeowner a substantial amount of money in preventable chimney repair and damage. While it might not not be an immediate need, you can prevent future stress and expenses by having an professional chimney service company properly install chimney caps. Chimney caps help to mitigate moisture, keep animals from coming into the home or making their homes in your chimney and protect your roof from stray embers that could potentially start a house fire.
