If you don\u2019t already have one, you may start asking yourself this question when you realize that a lot of your neighbors have opted to go without. Truth be told, the reason why so many people don&#8217;t have a chimney cap is that they don\u2019t realize just how important it is. In today\u2019s post, your roofing experts at Bone Dry Roofing \u2013 West share three reasons why they&#8217;re absolutely essential.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><!--more--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-fic fr-dib aligncenter\" style=\"width: 536px; height: 395px;\" src=\"https:\/\/surepulse-images.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/photos\/bbbed05adf5a17d2337fb36c6fdfb7389510cfe4-31-bonedrywest1.jpg\" alt=\"Chimney Cap\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>It protects your home from water damage.<\/strong>\u00a0The main function of\u00a0most roofing components is to prevent water from getting inside your house. A chimney cap is no different. Without it, rain and snow can fall down your chimney. When moisture makes its way inside your chimney, it can eventually corrode or warp your damper and weaken your flue lining, which puts your house at risk of fire when you use your fireplace.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>It helps keep out pests.\u00a0<\/strong>Talk to a neighbor that doesn\u2019t have a chimney cap installed and they\u2019ll probably have a story about a bird or rodent making its way down their chimney. While it does make for a funny story, it\u2019s not something you want to experience. Pests can cause damage to your home&#8217;s internal components and can also bring diseases. Installing a chimney cap is a simple yet effective way to keep them out.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>It helps prevent roof fires.<\/strong>\u00a0Chimney caps are not only effective at keeping things out, but also keeping things in. Without a chimney cap, hot embers from your fireplace can make their way to your roof, causing it to catch fire.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">If you&#8217;re finally convinced to have a chimney cap installed, give Bone Dry Roofing \u2013 West a call at (970) 364-7996 to schedule an appointment, or fill out our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonedrywest.com\/contact-us\/\">contact form<\/a>\u00a0to request a free quote today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is a chimney cap absolutely necessary?
