Chimney Cap Installation in Salem, OR
The cheapest insurance a chimney can get: a quality cap keeps rain, birds, squirrels, and debris out of the flue.
What a cap does
An uncapped flue is an open hole in your roof. In the Willamette Valley that means rain straight down the chimney all winter — rusting the damper, soaking the smoke shelf, and driving musty smells into the room. It's also an open door for birds and squirrels looking for a warm nest site.

My cap blew off in a storm — is that urgent?
Reasonably urgent, yes. Every rain until it's replaced is water into the system. Call and we'll get you sorted quickly.
Can a cap fix animal problems?
A proper cap with mesh is exactly how you keep birds and squirrels out permanently.
