Why should I have a chimney cap?
A chimney cap will
help prevent rain and snow from entering the chimney
flues and help keep it off of the crown. Even if this
were to be the only reason for installing a cap, it
would be enough. Rain waters can make the chimney smell
bad. This will happen in warm weather, especially if
the chimney is dirty or has animal droppings along the
smoke shelf. Water can cause deterioration of the
chimney through freeze/thaw cycles. After some time your
chimney may need major repairs. These repairs can cost
thousands of dollars.
Caps also keep out
unwanted animals such as squirrels, raccoons and birds.
These pests can build nests that can keep the chimney
from working properly and can cause fires. These
pests love to raise their young in the nice dark and
warm smoke shelf, just a couple of feet from your living
room.
Backpuffing occurs
when the fireplace smoke coming back into the house.
This can result from several factors. One of them is a
downdraft. A chimney cap can help stop
 downdrafts.
