Chimney Cap Installation in Bloomington, MN
A chimney cap is a metal cover with mesh sides that keeps rain, snow, animals, and debris out of your flue while letting smoke escape.
A chimney cap is a metal cover with mesh sides that keeps rain, snow, animals, and debris out of your flue while letting smoke escape. We install and replace stainless-steel caps across Minneapolis.
An uncapped flue lets in moisture that causes rust and freeze-thaw cracking. A quality stainless cap is a one-time fix that also blocks animals and reduces downdrafts.
Bloomington's housing is dominated by 1950s and 1960s ramblers and split-levels near the Minnesota River bluffs and the Mall of America corridor, so most masonry chimneys here are 60-plus years old and prone to cracked crowns and open mortar joints.
What a cap does
Keeps water out, blocks birds and squirrels, stops debris, reduces downdrafts and odors, and acts as a spark arrestor.
Why stainless
Stainless stands up to Minnesota moisture without rusting; galvanized caps corrode and fail faster.
