Chimney Cap, Damper & Flue Installation in Pittsburgh

Why Proper Chimney Component Installation Matters?
Proper installation of chimney components like caps, dampers, and flue liners is critical to your home’s safety and the chimney’s performance. Incorrect or outdated installations can lead to water leaks, animal infestations, inefficient heating, and dangerous buildup of toxic gases like carbon monoxide. A well-installed chimney cap prevents debris and wildlife from entering, while a functioning damper controls airflow and reduces heat loss. The right flue liner protects your chimney walls from heat and corrosion. Trusting professionals ensures these components fit perfectly, meet safety codes, and extend the life of your chimney saving you costly repairs down the road.
Chimney Cap Installation:
A chimney cap keeps out rain, debris, and animals while reducing downdrafts and ember escape. We install durable, weather-resistant caps that protect your flue and improve safety. Trust Lebanon Chimney Sweep for custom-fitted caps that shield your chimney year-round in Pittsburgh’s unpredictable climate.
Damper Installation & Replacement:
A well-functioning damper prevents heat loss and drafts while allowing proper airflow during use. We install and replace both throat and top-sealing dampers for efficient, smooth operation. Our team ensures tight seals and lasting performance to boost energy efficiency and safety in your home.
Flue Liner Installation:
Flue liners protect chimney walls and ensure safe smoke and gas venting. We install stainless steel, clay, or cast-in-place liners based on your system’s needs. Our liners meet safety codes, enhance efficiency, and prevent dangerous leaks—keeping your chimney secure for years to come.

Water Leaks Inside the Fireplace
If you notice water pooling in your firebox or stains running down the inside of your fireplace, your chimney cap may be missing, rusted, or improperly sealed. Without a proper cap, rain and snow can easily enter your flue system, leading to water damage, rust, mold growth, and structural deterioration. Moisture is the enemy of masonry and metal components alike replacing a faulty cap can save you thousands in future repairs.
Poor Draft or Smoke Backup
Struggling with smoke coming back into your home instead of rising through the chimney? A faulty or stuck damper, along with an obstructed or improperly sized flue, could be the cause. Poor draft reduces fireplace efficiency and increases the risk of carbon monoxide exposure. If lighting a fire leads to smoke-filled rooms or difficulty keeping the fire lit, it’s time to have your damper or flue inspected.
Rust or Corrosion on Metal Components
Rust is a strong indicator of moisture problems within your chimney system. If you spot rust on the damper, chimney cap, or other components, it likely means water has infiltrated the structure. Over time, rust can weaken the functionality of these parts, making them less effective or unusable. Replacing corroded parts promptly prevents bigger problems, including chimney liner damage or structural decay.
Unusual Odors from the Fireplace
Foul, musty, or smoky odors especially when the fireplace is not in use—can signal creosote buildup, mold, or moisture within the flue. A broken damper or missing cap allows dampness and debris to accumulate, causing persistent smells that worsen in humid weather. These odors can be harmful and are signs that your chimney system needs evaluation and potential component replacement.
Animal or Debris Intrusion
Birds, squirrels, raccoons, or leaves found inside your chimney indicate that your chimney cap is either missing or damaged. A secure cap with a mesh screen prevents pests and debris from entering while still allowing for proper airflow. Left unchecked, intrusions can lead to blockages, fires, or nesting animals becoming trapped and dying inside the chimney.
Cracked or Deteriorated Flue Liner
If you find flakes or chunks of tile in your firebox—or see visible cracks during an inspection your flue liner may be failing. A damaged liner exposes your home to extreme heat and toxic gases, greatly increasing the risk of chimney fires or carbon monoxide leaks. A new flue liner is critical for safe and efficient operation.
