And as we have handled the repair of chimney caps, we have fielded a lot of questions about them. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding chimney caps and their repair.
Is It Possible to Repair a Damaged Chimney Cap?
Yes, it is possible to repair a damaged chimney cap and the team at Guaranteed Home Improvement can get the job done. We have the insight and tools necessary to effectively repair any sort of chimney cap damage and repair it easily.
What are the Steps for Repairing a Chimney Cap?
The steps to repair a chimney cap are surprisingly simple. The steps, in a nutshell, follow:
- Locate the source of the leak or the damage on the chimney cap.
- Clean and dry the area around the leak or damage.
- Apply an effective sealant to the impacted area.
- Allow the sealant to completely dry.
- Check if the leak has been fixed and that the chimney cap is now watertight.
What Type of Sealant Should Be Used for Repairing a Chimney Cap?
There are a few different types of sealants that work great when repairing chimney caps. The best is usually a silicon-based sealant, since it is durable and resistant to water and extreme conditions. But the experts on our team will make sure that whatever sealant is used, it is the right one for the job.
Is Caulking Used to Repair Chimney Caps?
No, we do not use caulking to repair a chimney cap. Caulking is not a reliable option for chimneys and will not work great to seal the chimney cap due to the fact it will break down under environmental conditions.
Can a Metal Roof Fix a Leaking Chimney Cap?
No, a metal roof will not fix a leak with the chimney cap. Metal roofs are not watertight and they will not permanently solve the problems with a damaged chimney cap. The only way to effectively fix a chimney cap is with the proper sealant or with a professional repair kit. Let the pros at Guaranteed Home Improvement repair the chimney cap.
