What's included
What our chimney cap installation includes
Every cap install starts with a roof and flue inspection, because a cap on a cracked crown will not last. Here is what is covered in a standard install, and what we quote separately if your chimney needs it.
Roof and flue inspection
We climb with a safety harness, run an inspection camera down the flue, and check the crown, flashing, damper, and liner. You get photos and a written report. This is included in every install, no separate inspection fee.
Cap and mounting frame
The cap, mesh screen, and stainless mounting frame are included in the quoted price. We size the mesh to your fuel type and the frame to your flue tile OD, so the fit is snug without cracking the tile.
Sealing and crown touch-up
We seal the frame with ChimneySaver waterproofing sealant and fill hairline crown cracks with chimney crown mix. If the crown needs a full rebuild, we quote that separately before we start.
Draft test and cleanup
We light a test fire, confirm draft at the damper, and check for smoke backdraft. Then we shop-vac the firebox, clear the gutter of debris, and leave the roof clean. Drop cloths go down before we start.
Warranty paperwork
You get the manufacturer warranty on the cap plus our 5-year workmanship warranty on the mounting and seal. We register the cap for you and leave the paperwork in a folder with your inspection photos.
Service overview
Chimney cap installation in Evesham, New Jersey explained
Chimney cap installation in Evesham, New Jersey is the fitting of a stainless steel or copper cap over the flue opening to shed water, block animals, and arrest sparks. A proper cap sits on a mesh screen sized to your flue tile, bolted to a mounting frame that clears the crown by at least 4 inches. We seal the frame with a waterproofing sealant rated for freeze-thaw cycles. Caps are UL 1777 listed when paired with a stainless steel liner, and every install follows NFPA 211 clearances.
Evesham's mix of 1970s ranches and newer Marlton builds takes a beating from nor'easters and summer downpours. Without a cap, rain runs straight down the flue, eats mortar joints, and soaks the smoke chamber until you smell that damp, sooty odor in the living room. If you have been searching for chimney cap install near me in Evesham, we can usually get out the same week. A $200 cap prevents a $4,000 crown and liner rebuild.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
How our chimney cap install works
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Roof and flue inspection
We climb with a safety harness and drop cloth, run an inspection camera down the flue, and check the crown, flashing, and damper. You get a written report with photos. This takes 20 to 30 minutes and tells us whether you need a cap only or crown repair first.
Measure and match
We measure the flue tile OD, the crown height, and the liner type. Then we spec the cap: stainless or copper, single-flue or multi-flue, mesh size, and mounting style. We stock Selkirk, DuraVent, Olympia Chimney Supply, and Copperfield caps, so most sizes go on the same visit.
Fabricate and fit
If your flue is an odd size, we fabricate a custom stainless cap in our shop and return within 3 to 5 business days. Standard sizes install the same day. We set the frame level, drill and tap into the flue tile or crown, and torque stainless bolts so the cap will not rattle in a nor'easter.
Seal and weatherproof
We run a bead of ChimneySaver waterproofing sealant around the frame and any crown penetrations. If the crown has hairline cracks, we fill them with chimney crown mix before the cap goes on. This is the step that keeps water out for the next decade.
Test and walkthrough
We light a test fire, watch the draft at the damper, and confirm no smoke backdraft. Then we walk you through the photos, hand you the cap warranty paperwork, and leave the roof and gutter clean. Total time on site is 2 to 4 hours for a standard install.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use on every cap install
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Inspection camera
We run it down the flue to check for cracked tile, liner deterioration, and creosote buildup before we size the cap. You see the same footage we do.
Safety harness and drop cloth
OSHA-compliant roof access and interior protection. Drop cloths go down around the fireplace before we start, and the harness keeps our technicians safe on steep pitches.
Rotary chimney sweep and Sooteater rods
We sweep the flue before capping so creosote does not clog the new mesh screen. Sooteater rods handle offsets and tight flues that a straight brush cannot reach.
Masonry trowel and mortar jointer
Used for crown touch-up and mortar repair around the cap frame. A clean crown and solid mortar joints are what make the cap seal last.
Shop vacuum
We vacuum the firebox and smoke shelf after sweeping, so no soot ends up on your floor or furniture. The shop vac stays outside until the firebox is clean.
Use cases
When Evesham homeowners call us for a cap
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Storm-damaged cap in Medford
A nor'easter bent the old aluminum cap and tore two mounting bolts out of the flue tile. The cap was rattling in every wind, and water was running down the outside of the flue into the attic insulation. → We removed the damaged cap, inspected the tile for cracks, and installed a heavier-gauge stainless cap with new stainless bolts tapped into fresh holes. The frame was sealed with ChimneySaver, and the attic stayed dry through the next storm.
Animal nest in an Evesham Township flue
Squirrels had nested in the flue of a home near Greentree. The homeowner heard scratching at night and smelled a musty odor in the living room. Smoke backdrafted into the house whenever they lit a fire. → We removed the nest, swept the flue with a rotary chimney sweep and Sooteater rods, and installed a stainless cap with 3/4-inch mesh. Draft returned to normal, and the scratching stopped the same day.
Problems we solve
Chimney problems a cap solves before they get expensive
Water, animals, and sparks cause most of the chimney damage we see in Evesham. A cap installed correctly stops all three at the top of the flue, before they reach your liner, damper, or ceiling.
Rain running straight down an open flue
We fit a stainless cap with a 4-inch overhang and seal the frame to the crown. Water sheds past the flashing instead of entering the flue. If the crown is already cracked, we repair it first so the cap has a solid base.
Animals nesting in the chimney
We install a cap with 3/4-inch stainless mesh sized to your flue tile. It blocks animals without restricting draft. We clear any existing nest and sweep the flue before the cap goes on, so nothing is trapped.
Sparks landing on the roof
Every wood-burning cap we install includes a spark arrestor screen. It catches embers while letting smoke through. We also clear the gutter and roof edge during the install, so there is nothing up there to catch.
Rusted or missing cap after a storm
We replace damaged caps with heavier-gauge stainless or copper units, re-tap the mounting holes, and re-seal the frame. Most replacements are done in a single 2 to 3 hour visit, and we haul the old cap away.
Pricing process
Chimney cap installation pricing in Evesham
$185 - $900 depending on cap material, flue count, and crown condition
Flue size and count
A single 8x8 flue takes a smaller, cheaper cap than an 8x13 or a multi-flue chimney. Multi-flue caps need a larger frame and more mesh, which adds $150 to $300 to the price.
Cap material
Stainless steel is the value pick and lasts 15 to 20 years. Copper costs roughly double but lasts 30-plus years and looks better on historic brick. Both are UL 1777 listed when paired with the right liner.
Crown condition
If the crown has cracks wider than a hairline, we repair it with chimney crown mix before mounting the cap. That adds $150 to $400 but is what makes the cap seal last through a winter.
