Technician Art recently completed a chimney rain cap installation on 5th Street in Wilmette, helping this homeowner protect their fireplace system from water damage, debris buildup, and unwanted visitors (looking at you, neighborhood squirrels).

Rain caps serve as the first line of defense for any chimney. Without one, moisture can seep into the flue and cause rust, liner deterioration, or even mold. Caps also help prevent downdrafts that bring cold air—and smoky smells—right back into the living room.

During this visit, Technician Art installed a high-quality stainless steel cap custom-fit to the flue, ensuring long-lasting performance and improved airflow.
