Chimney Caps
Chimney Caps
Chimney Caps protect the chimney. They not only prevent rain from falling straight down into the flue system, they also keep debris out. Water that falls into the chimney will increase the rate that creosote glazes and tars. Similarly, any debris brought into the chimney by birds or raccoons can be dangerous.
Chimney caps also protect your house from the stray sparks that may cause hazard to your home. Let Nickos Chimney Company install your new chimney cap and remove the unwanted debris from your chimney.
