Caps, Dampers & Liners in Bellevue
A good cap keeps Bellevue's rain, birds, and squirrels out of your flue — and a spark arrestor keeps embers off your roof, which matters around the cedar-shake homes near Cougar Mountain and Lakemont. We fit stainless caps sized to your specific flue.
When an old clay liner is cracked or your fireplace draws poorly, a stainless steel reline restores safe, efficient venting. We only recommend relining when the camera shows it's truly needed.

Caps, Dampers & Liners — your questions
Why does my chimney keep getting animals inside it?
An uncapped or damaged flue is an open invitation. A properly sized stainless cap with mesh keeps birds, squirrels, and raccoons out for good.
How long does a chimney liner last?
A quality stainless liner typically lasts 15-25 years and usually carries a lifetime warranty on the material.
What's a top-sealing damper?
It's a damper mounted at the top of the flue that seals airtight when closed — far better than a worn throat damper at keeping cold air and rain out.
