Fireplace Cap, Yes it can rust!

Do you have a fireplace?  Have you lived in your home for 10 years or more?  If you answered yes to both of these questions then now is the time to check your chimney cap. Typically installed with galvanized metal, they can and usually will rust and if not caught in time can cause serious damage to the chase or attic without you ever knowing.

Other roof vents, such at furnace vents, can rust on the top or the flashing and should also be inspected as well.
