Protect Your Chimney with a Custom Cap Installation

If your chimney doesn’t have a cap, it’s like driving without a hood during a storm. Rain, animals, debris, and even fire hazards have a free pass into your chimney flue—and eventually, into your home. That’s why Mr. Sweeps chimney and dryer vent cleaning service strongly recommends installing a chimney cap, no matter the age or style of your home.

We’ve been helping homeowners in Fort Worth, Keller, Arlington, and nearby cities protect their chimneys since 1982, and we’ve seen firsthand what happens when a chimney is left exposed. From raccoons in the flue to water damage rotting the masonry inside, it all starts at the top—literally. A well-installed chimney cap is a small investment that prevents some seriously expensive repairs down the line.

Let’s break down why this overlooked component is one of the most important parts of your chimney system.

What Does a Chimney Cap Actually Do?

A chimney cap is a simple yet powerful protective barrier. It fits over the top of your chimney flue and acts like a shield against the elements—and everything else.

Here’s what a good chimney cap protects you from:

- Rain & Moisture – Water getting into your chimney can cause mold, rust, and deterioration of the liner, damper, and firebox. A cap keeps moisture out.

- Animals – Birds, squirrels, raccoons, and even snakes have been known to get into open chimneys and build nests. A cap with a mesh screen keeps them out.

- Sparks & Embers – A spark arrestor, which comes built into most caps, stops hot embers from escaping your chimney and potentially igniting nearby trees or your roof.

- Debris & Downdrafts – Leaves, twigs, and strong wind gusts can block or reverse airflow in your chimney. A cap helps maintain proper draft and airflow.

It’s one of those things you don’t think about until something goes wrong. But once it’s installed, it quietly does its job—24/7.
