Chimney Cap & Spark Arrestor Installation in Houston
A chimney without a cap is an open hole in your roof. It invites rain, debris, and worst of all—Houston’s wildlife. At 832 Chimney Services, we install high-quality Chimney Caps with integrated Spark Arrestors. These essential devices serve a dual purpose: they prevent squirrels and raccoons from nesting in your flue, and they catch hot embers (sparks) before they land on your roof, preventing house fires.”
Protect Your Home: Water, Wildlife & Fire Safety
Stop Rain & Moisture Intrusion
Professional chimney cap repair stops rainwater from entering your hearth, preventing expensive damage to walls, ceilings, and the structure itself. This protection extends your fireplace’slifespan significantly.
Keep Squirrels, Birds & Raccoons Out
Our quality caps eliminate animal entry, preventing nests, blockages, and potential fire hazards. This protection keeps your chimney functioning properly throughout all seasons.
Prevent Roof Fires with Spark Arrestors
Burning wood naturally creates rising embers that stay hot as they float up the flue. Without a spark arrestor, these ‘flying sparks’ can escape and land on your roof shingles, dry leaves, or pine needles, potentially igniting a house fire. Our chimney caps feature built-in, high-quality wire mesh that acts as a safety net—trapping dangerous embers inside the chimney while allowing smoke to exit freely.
Custom Stainless Steel Caps Built for Houston Weather
We strictly recommend Stainless Steel chimney caps for our Houston clients. Unlike cheaper galvanized caps that rust and stain your roof within a few years, stainless steel withstands our humid climate and comes with a lifetime warranty against rust. It is a ‘one-and-done’ investment for your home.

Common Questions About Chimney Caps & Spark Arrestors
How do I measure for the correct flue topper size?
Measuring can be tricky because caps mount differently (some inside the flue, some outside). We recommend a professional measurement to ensure a tight seal. An ill-fitting cap can blow off in high winds or allow animals to squeeze through gaps.
Are there different types of flue protection devices available?
Yes! There are various types, including single-wall and triple-wall options for stovepipes. Materials range from galvanized steel to 304 stainless steel for enhanced durability. Consider features like a rain guard, a spark arrestor screen, and whether you want black galvanized steel or stainless.
What does a spark arrestor do for my fireplace?
A spark arrestor is a metal mesh screen that wraps around the chimney cap. It catches burning embers (sparks) that float up the flue, preventing them from landing on your shingles or dry leaves and starting a fire. It is a critical safety feature for wood-burning fireplaces.
Why choose stainless steel chimney caps?
Durability. Houston’s combination of heat, humidity, and rain causes galvanized steel to corrode quickly. Stainless steel remains strong and shiny for decades, ensuring you never have to pay for a replacement again.
