Caps, Dampers & Liners in Covington
A good stainless cap keeps Covington rain, embers, leaves and animals out of your flue, and a spark arrestor adds fire protection. We replace rusted caps and worn dampers with stainless hardware, and we install top-sealing damper-caps that cut energy loss during cold snaps.
If your flue is cracked, undersized or unlined, a stainless liner restores safe venting and protects surrounding framing and masonry from heat. We size and install liners to match your fireplace, insert or stove precisely.

Caps, Dampers & Liners — your questions
Do I really need a chimney cap?
Yes. Without one, Covington rain runs straight down the flue and animals nest inside. A cap is inexpensive insurance against water and blockage damage.
What's a top-sealing damper and why would I want one?
It seals the top of the flue with a rubber gasket, stopping drafts and heat loss far better than an old throat damper — handy savings in our cold, wet winters.
How do I know if my flue needs a liner?
Cracked tiles, white deposits, or a flue that's the wrong size for your appliance signal a relining. Our camera inspection confirms it.
