Our Approach To Installing Your New Chimney Cap
Understanding the urgency of the situation, we scheduled the project for the same day.

The initial step involved carefully wrapping the chimney with protective material to shield it from potential damage during the work. Our technicians then set up two ladders: one extending from the ground to the roof and another horizontally positioned along the roofline. This setup ensured stability and ease of access throughout the project.

The cap was meticulously chosen for its durability and effectiveness in preventing water ingress and blocking debris from entering the flue.

To guarantee that every aspect of our work met high standards, Oscar used a power drill to fasten the mount cap securely onto the chimney. Throughout this process, safety ropes were attached to his harness—a testament to our adherence to stringent safety protocols.
