Animals or nesting debris have found their way inside

Protection from the Elements

WHAT DOES A CHIMNEY CAP ACTUALLY DO?

Rain, snow, and nesting animals belong outdoors, not inside your chimney. Chimney caps and chase covers help protect vulnerable openings at the top, keeping small problems from turning into costly repairs.

Keep rain and melting snow out
Block birds, squirrels, and debris
Protect chimney components from moisture damage

Missing metal, rust, or a even just a loose fit can leave your chimney exposed. We’ll check the condition of your cap or chase cover, explain what needs attention, and recommend a replacement suited to your home.

Why Make The Switch

BENEFITS OF A CHIMNEY CAP

Keep Water Out

A properly fitted chimney cap helps keep rain and melting snow out of your flue, while a chase cover directs water away from the chimney enclosure. Replacing missing caps or rusted chase covers helps prevent water from reaching your home and fireplace below.

Keep Critters Out

A chimney cap with mesh screening helps keep birds, squirrels, and nesting debris from entering your flue while allowing smoke and exhaust to escape. Proper chimney cap installation closes off an easy entry point for wildlife and helps prevent blockages that can interfere with venting.

Protect Your Chimney

Moisture entering from above can contribute to rusted metal components, deteriorating masonry, and rotting wood inside a chimney chase. Chimney cap and chase cover replacement helps protect these hidden areas, reducing the risk of damage that can become more expensive to repair over time.

  Excellent service from the front desk, Michala, to the first technician, Darryl, to the chimney liner guy(can’t remember his name - sorry!), to the install crew, Kevin and Austin!  Everyone was very communicative, friendly and competent. If you have chimney needs or want to install a gas fireplace insert, this is the place to go. I feel like I got a competitive price and I absolutely love my new fireplace insert. I actually turned off my furnace, and the house is more comfortable!  I leave my furnace fan on, so my UV light (installed by Platinum Plumbing) will continue to sterilize my air. I’m excited to enjoy the fireplace for the rest of the winter and even during the summer, since I can run it at a low flame. You guys are the best, and I feel very secure knowing my product is installed correctly for safe and reliable operation. Thank you very much to the whole team at Salters!  Oh yeah, and they have green egg stuff there, too!!

7/22/26:  I had Kody service my fireplace. He was terrific:  put shoe covers on before entering the home, introduced himself, told me what he was doing, how long it would take, set up a drop cloth in his work area, and he was right on time. Thank you, Kody!

  We purchased our gas insert fireplace from Salter’s ten years ago and Salter’s serviced our fireplace since purchase.  We experienced a severe storm that blew off our chimney cap and the rain damaged one of our electronic control modules.  Service Technician Greg Cole did a great job replacing the module and performing annual  maintenance.  The fireplace looks good as new and the embers glow brilliantly and the flames follow the contours of the logs.  Well done, Salter’s!

  My experience with Salters was positive in all aspects:  Kristen in the showroom was very knowledgeable about my gas fireplace options and Amanda in scheduling was very efficient with arranging times for initial measurement appointment with Lou, to chimney inspection with Darryl and then for installation with Kevin and Sean.  Everyone was very professional and respectful of each other, me and my home. And the final results are fabulous— I’m looking forward to using my beautiful new fireplace this winter!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a chimney cap and chase cover cost?

Chimney cap installation and chase cover replacement are priced differently. A standard cap replacement generally costs less than a custom chase cover, which must fit the chimney enclosure and its pipe openings. Pricing depends on dimensions, material, roof access, installation requirements, and any related damage that needs repair. We’ll assess your chimney and provide an estimate explaining the recommended work.

Do I need a chimney cap, a chase cover, or both?

A chimney cap covers the flue opening, helping keep rain out while allowing smoke and exhaust to escape. A chase cover is the metal covering over a chimney enclosure, directing water away from the structure around the pipes. Many factory-built chimney systems need both, while masonry chimneys typically have a crown and a cap. We’ll identify your chimney’s setup and explain which components need attention.

Can my chimney cap or chase cover be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

A loose attachment or a localized sealing issue may be repairable if the surrounding metal is still sound. Rust holes, split seams, significant warping, or widespread corrosion often make chimney cap or chase cover replacement the more dependable option. We’ll check the extent of the deterioration and explain whether a repair can address the problem or would only offer a temporary fix.

Will a new chimney cap or chase cover stop my chimney leak?

Replacing a damaged chimney cap or chase cover can stop water entering through that component, but chimney leaks can have more than one source. Damaged flashing, cracked crowns, deteriorated masonry, and gaps around chimney pipes can also allow water inside. We’ll assess the likely entry points before recommending work, so your repair addresses the source rather than simply covering up a symptom.

How long do chimney caps and chase covers last?

Chimney caps and chase covers can last many years, but their lifespan depends on the material, installation quality, weather exposure, and maintenance. Stainless steel generally resists corrosion better than galvanized steel, which can rust as its protective coating wears away. Annual chimney inspections help catch loose attachments, deteriorating seals, and corrosion before they lead to larger problems. Any product warranty should be reviewed separately, since its coverage and maintenance requirements vary.
