An uncapped chimney serves as an open invitation for raccoons, birds, insects, and moisture. A single access point can result in multiple serious issues. Chimney capping prevents this quickly and effectively.
A chimney cap functions as a protective barrier. Once installed, the risk of pest intrusion drops significantly, along with associated problems such as wall damage, odours, and infestations. It also assists with airflow regulation and helps mitigate fire hazards.
TruTech Pest & Wildlife Control offers expert chimney capping services throughout the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Each installation is tailored to safeguard against pests, weather, and debris.
Why Your Home Needs Chimney Capping
Chimney capping prevents intrusion from animals, debris, insects, and moisture. A properly installed cap eliminates common entry points and reduces the risk of structural deterioration. Without a cap, your chimney becomes a vulnerable access tunnel for wildlife and water damage.
Prevent Entry from Raccoons, Birds, and Squirrels
Raccoons are strong and determined. They can climb roofs, pull up chimney flashing, and slip through narrow gaps. Birds often build nests that obstruct flues and increase fire risk. Squirrels chew through insulation, wiring, and wood. TruTech’s raccoon-proof chimney caps are specifically designed to stop these intrusions. Made from durable metal, they resist force and block access from all angles, including top, sides, and corners.
Protect Your Chimney from Rain, Snow, and Debris
Rain deteriorates brick over time. Snow melts and refreezes, causing cracks. Leaves and debris reduce ventilation and trap moisture inside the flue. Left unprotected, your chimney will degrade rapidly.
That’s why chimney cap installation is critical. Our caps are designed to endure harsh Ontario winters, remain storm-resistant, and form a tight seal against the elements.
Reduce Fire Hazards and Improve Airflow
Without proper capping, wind can force smoke back into your home. A professionally installed chimney cap regulates airflow and prevents downdrafts. It also traps sparks before they exit the flue, reducing fire risk. Our chimney capping services address both airflow concerns and fire prevention in one comprehensive solution.
Our Professional Chimney Cap Installation Services
TruTech ensures each chimney cap installation is precise and compliant with all relevant building codes. We offer a selection of materials, including stainless steel, copper, and heavy-duty aluminum. For homeowners requiring chimney cap replacement, our team delivers a streamlined, efficient process.
Installation for New and Existing Structures
Whether it’s a newly built chimney or an older one lacking proper sealing, timely protection is essential. Without a cap, your flue becomes a high-risk entry point for animals, rain, and debris.
TruTech installs caps on homes, cottages, and commercial buildings, including single and multi-flue systems. Each installation is custom-measured, securely mounted, and tailored to the structure.
Chimney Cap Replacement and Upgrades
Weather damage, rust, and wildlife can compromise older caps. If the screen is torn or the metal is warped, a full chimney cap replacement is the best solution. Repairs are only suitable for minor issues. For caps with bent frames, missing mesh, or loose fittings, replacement ensures better sealing, longer durability, and increased fire safety.
TruTech upgrades your chimney with stronger, higher-quality components.
Custom Cap Designs
Chimneys come in various shapes and sizes: tall, wide, round, or double-flue. Our technicians design and fit custom caps for even the most complex chimneys, including angled stacks and detailed masonry. If your home is historic, we match the style. For pest prevention, our raccoon-proof chimney caps are designed for maximum strength and fit.
Specialty Chimney Caps for Added Protection
Our specialty chimney caps offer targeted protection using high-grade materials, secure mesh, and reinforced screens. Each type is engineered to solve specific issues.
Raccoon-Proof Chimney Caps
Raccoons are known for their persistence and physical strength. They often attempt to force entry, with birds and squirrels following behind. TruTech’s raccoon-proof chimney caps are constructed with heavy-gauge steel and fixed in place with tight seals and no weak points. These barriers withstand climbing, clawing, and prying to eliminate pest entry altogether.
Insect-Proof Chimney Caps with Fine Mesh
Smaller pests exploit the tiniest openings. Ants, wasps, and beetles often bypass standard screens. Our insect-proof chimney caps feature ultra-fine mesh that permits ventilation while blocking all insect access. Designed to prevent infestations before they start, these caps stop buzzing, nesting, and clogging inside your chimney system.
Spark Arrestor Caps for Fire Prevention
Burning wood can send sparks up the flue. A strong gust of wind may carry those sparks to the roof or nearby vegetation. Chimney caps with built-in spark arrestors trap and cool embers before they escape. This added protection reduces fire risk significantly without hindering smoke ventilation. Spark arrestors are essential in dry or high-wind regions.
