Chimney Caps
Cap it.
Vertical can make sure nothing enters your chimney by installing a cap.
Chimney caps have two primary functions.
If you don’t have a cap, we can install a new one. Or, if you have one but it isn’t working properly, we can replace your old one.
Chimney Dampers
Feeling drafty?
For money and safety reasons, it’s important to have a working damper, and to know when to use it.
When your fireplace isn’t in use the damper should be shut. When you’re ready to make a fire, it’s important to make sure the damper is open.
If there is a draft coming from your fireplace, it might be time for an inspection of your damper. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Chimney Fans
We’re fans of fans.
Chimney fans are incredibly important. Your fan is located on the top of your fireplace chimney and assists in drafting. Often installed alongside your liner, a chimney fan is essential when your chimney’s flue is too small to draft naturally.
