Chimneys are a big tunnel leading directly into your living quarters. Animals coming down chimneys are accidents, curiosity or intentional. Only raccoons and chimney swifts (a bird) can go back up a clay lined chimney. Animals will end up in fireplaces or die above the fireplace damper plate or come into the basement through the butterfly damper of the oil or gas furnace
Animals in chimneys are preventable.
Chimney caps with open mesh sides allow the flues to exhaust as normal and prevent animals, rain, snow and debris from entering. Caps are removable for chimney cleaning.
We furnish and install a full line of chimney caps in stainless steel or copper.
