The chimney cap sits at the top of the chimney and helps keep rain and other outdoor exposure away from vulnerable areas. A cracked, rusted, damaged, or poorly fitting cap may no longer provide the protection the chimney needs. Chimney Flashing Replacement Scranton replaces chimney caps when the existing cap has reached the point where repair is no longer practical.
A cap is only one part of chimney water management. We also consider the flashing and masonry because problems at the top of the chimney can exist alongside problems farther down.
The appropriate replacement depends on the chimney design, existing cap, and condition of the surrounding masonry.
A deteriorated cap can be replaced when damage affects its ability to protect the chimney.
A properly fitted cap helps limit direct exposure of the chimney opening and upper masonry to rain and snow.
We consider the condition of the surrounding chimney top so the replacement is appropriate for the existing structure.
