Level 2 Chimney Inspection (Video Scan)

At America’s Chimney Sweep, we provide comprehensive chimney inspections using advanced video technology to identify hidden issues and ensure your chimney’s safety and functionality.

Professional Chimney Cap Installation

A chimney cap is one of the most important components of your chimney system. It serves as the first line of defense against water intrusion, prevents animals from nesting in your chimney, and keeps debris out while allowing smoke and gases to escape safely. Our professional installation ensures your chimney cap is properly sized and securely mounted for years of reliable protection.

Why Chimney Caps Are Essential

Without a properly installed chimney cap, your chimney is vulnerable to water damage, animal intrusion, and debris accumulation. Water entering your chimney can cause deterioration of the flue liner, damage to the masonry, and even interior water damage to your home. Animals such as birds, squirrels, and raccoons often seek shelter in uncapped chimneys, creating blockages and potential fire hazards.

Custom Fitting and Quality Materials

We understand that every chimney is unique, which is why we take precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit. Our chimney caps are available in premium materials including stainless steel, copper, and galvanized steel, each designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and provide long-lasting protection. We help you select the best material and style for your specific needs and budget.

Expert Installation Process

Our certified technicians follow a thorough installation process that begins with a complete inspection of your chimney. We assess the condition, take accurate measurements, and recommend the appropriate cap style. During installation, we ensure secure mounting with proper sealing to prevent leaks and movement. Every cap includes mesh screening to prevent sparks from escaping while keeping animals out, providing comprehensive protection for your home.
