Chimney cap missing
-
- Use a chimney brush and rods to sweep out any debris from the top of the chimney pipe before removing the chimney cap. This will prevent debris from falling into the stove pipe.
- Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove any screws securing the damaged chimney cap. Some caps may be secured with bolts instead, in which case use the appropriate wrench.
- Wearing thick gloves, lift and remove the damaged chimney cap. Lower it safely to the ground.
- Inspect the top of the chimney pipe for any damage or rust. Scrape off loose paint or rust and repaint if needed.
- Place the new chimney cap on top of the chimney pipe, aligning any holes for screws.
- Reinstall screws or bolts to securely fasten the new cap, using hand tools or a power drill.
- Seal any gaps between the cap and pipe with high temperature waterproof silicone sealant.
- Perform a visual inspection to ensure the new chimney cap is properly aligned and secured before using the wood stove.
