Are you tired of dealing with water damage in your chimney? Chimney caps keep out the rain, and that alone is reason enough to install one. At Quality Fireplace, we’ve seen the damage an uncapped chimney can cause in just a few short years. Don’t let your chimney suffer the same fate!
Go over to your fireplace right now and look at the back firewall near the base. Take a screwdriver or coin and run it across the mortar between the bricks. If it starts to crumble, you have a problem that Quality Fireplace can solve!
Why Do You Need Chimney Caps?
Chimney caps keep out the rain, right? If this were the only reason for installing a cap, it would be enough. I have seldom seen an uncapped chimney over five years old that was not suffering from some kind of water damage. Go over to your fireplace right now and look at the back firewall near the base. Take a screwdriver or coin and run it across the mortar between the bricks.
If it starts to crumble, you have a problem. When rain puddles on the smoke shelf, it mixes with creosote in the chimney to become a highly corrosive acid. This will seep down and attack the mortar joints on the back wall of the fireplace. The mortar becomes weak, and—presto—the bricks on the wall become loose.
Other reasons it’s important to keep rain out:
- Rain can set off a bad smell in the chimney. This will happen in warm weather, especially if the chimney is dirty or has animal droppings on the smoke shelf.
- Rain speeds the rusting of metal parts of your fireplace. Is the damper hard to move or is it frozen? This is a good indication rain is damaging the interior of the chimney parts.

Prevent Water Damage
Rain can set off a bad smell in the chimney, especially in warm weather. Dirty chimneys or those with animal droppings on the smoke shelf are particularly susceptible. Additionally, rain accelerates the rusting of metal parts of your fireplace, making the damper hard to move or even causing it to freeze. This is a clear indication that rain is damaging the interior of your chimney.
