Rain down chimneys?

Uncapped flues admit rains yearly. Mortar erodes.

1. The problem

Fireplace owners run uncapped flues yearly. Rains erode mortar steadily. Raccoons nest springtimes. Downdrafts smoke rooms. The hardest part is measured fitting fast. A storm might flood fireboxes. That uncertainty makes it hard to burn dry.

What people are saying

“Running yearly uncapped here. I need measure guides with fit flows.”

2. What exists

Chimney pros, caps and ladders crown flues, while admitting persists yearly. Pros upsell liners. Ladders scare heights. There is little help with measure guides plus fit flows for owners.

3. The solution

The solution could be a burn-dry engine. It could measure tops simply fast. It could fit stainless wisely screened. Installs could bolt minutes. The goal would be dry fireboxes, clean burns.
