Chimney Caps— Silver Chimney Cap in Orlando F
Water is the most common destroyer of chimneys — if your system has even the tiniest weakness, water will find it and quickly begin to deteriorate the system, rusting dampers, eroding mortar joints and slowly destroying flue liners. Any steps you can take to protect a chimney system against water should be taken, because prevention is much more cost-effective than repair.

Protect Your Chimney System with Quality Chimney Cap Installation

Leaving a chimney without a chimney cap is basically akin to leaving a gaping hole in the top of your home. But a chimney cap that is sized and installed correctly can provide a helpful barrier against water and, combined with other preventative measures (including applying a waterproofing sealant, and making sure that your crown, flashing and damper are all functioning properly), can help prevent the headaches that come with chimney damage.

Chimney Caps Provide Protection Against More Than Just Water, Including:

  • Branches
  • Leaves
  • Falling Debris from Trees & Plants
  • Wildlife Including: Birds, Squirrels & Rodents
  • Bugs
  • Noises & Smells

The Best Chimney Cap for Your Home

Chimney caps come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, including stainless steel and copper.

For a chimney cap to provide all of the benefits it’s designed to provide, it needs to be the right size and shape to accommodate the needs of your particular system. With all the chimney caps to choose from, you’ll find chimney caps that are designed for those with animal problems or with wind-related problems like downdrafts. In addition to being functionally valuable, chimney caps can improve the look of your home as well — we install a variety of beautiful copper and stainless steel caps that can add a pop of style to your exterior.

Chimney Chase Pan Installation & Repair

Most homes with factory-built chimney systems have a chase built around the chimney pipe, with a chase pan installed at the top to protect it. When chase pans fail, we can help by installing a beautiful and far more durable new pan.

Replace Your Damaged Chase Pan

Chases are often finished with siding to look like the home, or with brick/stone panels that mimic traditional masonry. Protecting the chase, on top, is a chase pan, generally made of galvanized metal, stainless steel or copper. Like the chimney crown on a masonry chimney, a chase pan is performing an important protective function, working to keep water away from the flue. If it rusts or begins to fail, you’ll likely have a leak on your hands.

If your chase pan is showing signs of damage, we can replace it with a beautiful and durable new chase pan that will bring a fresh look to your chase and thoroughly protect your chimney.

Affordable Metal Chase Pans

Young’s Chimney Service routinely installs chase pans made of galvanized metal. Galvanized metal chase pans are often installed with the prefabricated system because they tend to be highly affordable. Our specific manufacturing and reinforced installation process reduces rust and makes galvanized metal a great, durable and long-lasting choice for our local area.
