What is a Chimney Cap and Why Does My House Need One?
It's an unfortunate reality that chimneys make good spots for animals to nest, especially in North Dallas. The chimney cap is a device usually made of stainless metal and is designed to prevent said pests from entering your home. Animals such as raccoons and squirrels are attracted to the warmth and shelter (not to mention any food smells) coming from you home. An infestation can lead to inefficiency in the fireplace and an increased fire hazard.
Another advantage of a chimney cap is the ability to keep chimneys free of ice, rain and other debris that mother nature throws at your house.
Lastly, chimney caps are important because they can help keep embers from flying onto your roof. While this is rarely an issue, it certainly doesn't hurt to have piece of mind about your chimney situation! View more chimney caps at our official site.
