Chimney cap repair is often done with gas log conversion jobs. Since the soot has built up over the years, the caps deteriorate so we replace them during the same project. Chimney cap repair near me is a common request for homeowners seeking help. The fireplace and chimney are an integral part of most homes and require maintenance over time.
Firstly, we pointed them to our gas log store page to pick out a set of logs. There are many sets to choose from but the Monessen sets are our most popular ones. Also, natural gas and propane use different orifices. Let us know your fuel source up front.

We deliver and install the logs.
Secondly, the gas logs are ordered and delivered to your home. The propane is ordered from the vendor and installed at your house. This conversion is using propane gas as the source for the new gas logs. This is a reliable “off the grid” solution for rural areas that are not served by natural gas. The price of propane is high at the moment but over time it is a good solution to heating your home without the wood hassle. For instance, no more wood buying or delivery fees. In addition, no more cleaning and sweeping.

Why should you convert from wood burning to gas logs?
Finally, don’t wrestle with wood burning fireplaces as you get older. Wood is bought, cut, delivered, stacked and used each season. A gas log set has a remote control for easy use. The chimney will not soot up over time if installed correctly. The heat is instant and there is no clean up. Remember, roof work is dangerous. Let the professionals take care of the chimney. You enjoy the warmth and ambiance of the gas logs.
When your chimney leaks in heavy rain it is often the result of cracked and separated bricks and mortar. Water freezes the cracks in winter. When the temperatures warm up, the ice thaws and leaves a gap in the mortar and around the flue pipe.
We all love spring time. Flowers, bird chirping and warmer weather means mother nature is waking up. In parts of the country, it signifies the “great thaw”. Frozen rivers will expand and flood low areas. Your driveway and steps may show expansion areas from the freeze and thaw.
Chimneys are the same way. Many chimney tops are not slanted properly and water sits on top and seeps into the cracks. When the temperatures freeze, the water does too. As it expands, the brick joints will push apart. This is where the trouble starts.

How do we stop chimney leaks in heavy rains?
The process of stopping chimney leaks in heavy rains is pretty straight forward. First, we clean and scrap any old mortar and chipping off the top and sides of the chimney. Most of the time, we have to add mortar back into a few areas.
Secondly, after the holes are patched and sealed, we coat the area with a sealant designed for chimneys. It will last from 10 to 15 years with periodic inspections.
