Though modest in size, your chimney cap performs a monumental task: it's the primary defense against rain, snow, birds, squirrels, and rogue embers entering your flue. An absent or compromised cap is the leading cause of water damage and animal infestations in Eastside chimneys. We'll accurately measure your flue and install a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel cap — available for single or multi-flue systems — complete with animal-guard mesh and hardware engineered to withstand the unique rigors of Pacific Northwest weather.
Near the water, the relentless lakeside wind and rain make a meticulously sealed, corrosion-resistant cap an absolute necessity for enduring the elements.

Why it matters
An open flue is an open invitation for rain, snow, birds, and squirrels to make themselves at home, and it also provides an exit path for hot embers to potentially ignite your roof. Water infiltration through an uncapped flue leads to rusted dampers, saturated masonry, and a significantly reduced liner lifespan. Meanwhile, nesting animals can dangerously obstruct the flue, risking carbon monoxide backing up into your living space. A robust cap, complete with a spark-arrestor screen, proactively addresses all these critical issues.
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth a free inspection:
See the difference
The before is a flue with nothing over it at all — open to every storm, falling leaf and nesting bird our region can offer. The after wears a stainless cap with spark-arrestor mesh. Water pouring down an open flue is the single biggest driver of interior chimney decay, and a cap is about the least expensive part on the whole chimney relative to the damage it prevents.
A bare, wide-open flue finally covered — a stainless cap against our nine months of rain.
Representative example of a typical chimney cap installation — not a specific customer job. We add photos of our own completed the Eastside projects as we finish them.
A common find around the north end of the lake: a capless, wide-open flue on a Kenmore home near Log Boom Park, water stains inside the firebox, and clear signs a bird has been keeping house up top. An open flue is the easiest invitation our rain and wildlife ever get. We'd typically fit a stainless cap with spark-arrestor mesh, measured to the flue. The result is a chimney that stays dry and animal-free — one small part standing in for a much larger repair later.
