How can you tell when you need a new one?
There are a few signs that let you know you need a new chimney cap. If you are noticing a draft in the room where your chimney is at, then this is a sign that you need a new chimney cap. If there are birds, raccoons or squirrels in your chimney, then this is also a sign that your current chimney cap is damaged, and you need a new chimney cap.

If you don’t replace your chimney cap when it is damaged, then water is the main problem. Water will enter your chimney and it will damage the inside of your chimney.
