Technician Art recently installed a rain cap on Prairie Avenue in Libertyville, giving this masonry chimney a sleek new shield against the elements. Though often overlooked, a properly fitted rain cap plays a key role in chimney health by blocking water, animals, and debris from entering the flue.

During the visit, Technician Art secured a stainless steel cap that fits snugly over the flue. This simple addition helps prevent rusted dampers, damaged liners, and unwanted animal guests. It also stops downdrafts—so no more surprise puffs of smoke or soot inside the home.

At Chimney Monkey, we take chimney protection seriously. Rain caps are one of the most effective and affordable ways to safeguard your system. If your flue is open to the sky, it’s time to fix that.

Whether you need a basic flue cap or a custom multi-flue cover with a spark arrestor, Chimney Monkey has you covered—literally.
