A stack with more than one flue

Chimneys that serve two fireplaces, or a fireplace and a heating appliance, carry more than one flue tile through the crown. Each tile can take its own cap, or one outside-mount cover can span the crown and every tile under it. The right choice depends on how far each tile stands above the crown, how sound the crown concrete is, and what each flue vents.

On a multi-flue chimney in Kings Ferry we measure every tile and the crown outline, then set out both options with their trade-offs. You get the measurements with the choices, so the comparison is on paper rather than in memory. Cap missing or rusted on your Kings Ferry chimney? Our cap pros measure the flue for free; just call (904) 920-5495.

From tile measure to fastened cap in Kings Ferry

Tiles measured on the roof
Each flue tile is measured inside and out, along with its height above the crown.
Cap style and metal chosen
Slip-in, band-mount or full-crown, in a metal suited to the roof, with a screen that meets the Florida code.
Flue cleared, cap fastened
Any nest or debris comes out of the flue, then the cap is set and fastened for wind.
Fit and screen checked
We check that the cap sits square, the hood height matches the chart and the screen comes off for the sweep.

Flue tiles cut flush with the crown in Kings Ferry

Some flue tiles stop level with the crown, which leaves most single-flue caps nothing to grip. A cap forced onto a flush tile works loose in the wind.

For chimneys in Kings Ferry like that, the estimate offers an outside-mount cap over the crown or a way to raise the tile.

A screen that comes off for the brush

Florida's code also expects the screen or cap to come off so the flue can be cleaned. So the lid should be hinged or bolted, or a screen panel held by screws that are reachable from the roof. Caps that were glued down, or screwed through the lid into the crown, defeat that expectation and turn a routine sweep into a repair job.

We fit caps whose lid or screen comes away with hand tools, and we show you which fasteners hold it in case another contractor needs to know. The same design lets the mesh be brushed clean on the roof, which is where soot deposits build first.

What to look for from the yard after a storm

Binoculars and a clear day are enough for a first look after bad weather. Stand where you can see the top of the chimney and check four things. Is the cap still square on the tile, or leaning? Is the lid flat, or lifted at one corner? Is the screen continuous all the way around, or is there a dark gap? Are there fresh rust streaks, screws or metal pieces on the roof below?

Any one of those is a reason to call before the next storm, and none of them needs you on a ladder. If you can, take note of which side of the chimney the damage faces, since it helps us plan the visit.

Rain that slips past a cap

A cap sheds rain that falls straight down, but wind-driven rain can travel sideways under a shallow hood and into the tile. Some cap makers offer deeper hoods or models with side baffles for chimneys that stand exposed, and their literature says which.

Before we recommend a deeper hood, we confirm the water really arrives through the flue opening. Rain soaking through the crown or the brick shows up in the same firebox, and a larger hood does nothing about it. So the answer names the path we found, what closes it, and whether a bigger cap belongs in it at all.

Cap questions we hear in Kings Ferry

Should the replacement cap match the old one's size?

Only if the old one fit. We size from the tile and crown as they are now, using the maker's chart, and the estimate lists the measurements.

Can a cap go on if the crown is cracked?

A single-flue cap can, if the tile itself is sound, though the crown still lets water in around it. A full-crown cap needs sound concrete to anchor into, so the crown is repaired first.
