Why Sherman Oaks homes need this chimney cap installation visit

Tall chimneys on the hillside lots above Sherman Oaks routinely need specialized access gear before an inspector can even reach the crown, which means deterioration up there can go unnoticed for years without one. Valley floor properties trade that height issue for prefabricated fireplace systems, where the inspection priority shifts to venting and panel condition instead.

Extreme summer heat is the driver behind most of the crown cracking documented on these inspections, and even fine cracking gets flagged as a code concern rather than cosmetic wear. That crack is typically the first point where water works its way into the flue system.

Stainless steel and copper cap options
Spark arrestor mesh included on every cap
Custom sizing for multi-flue chimneys
Animal and debris exclusion guaranteed
Wind-rated mounting for coastal installations
Old cap removal and crown cleaning included
