Clyde Hill's houses are detached homes on generous lots, laid out as the hill turned from farmland to suburb in the early 1950s. Each has its own chimney and its own exposure. A cap is the smallest part of the chimney and the one that does the most everyday work: it keeps rain, leaves and animals out of a flue that may sit unused for months.
Clyde Hill's suburban streets started replacing farmland in the early 1950s, and a chimney that old has often been relined at some point. A cap made for the old clay tile does not necessarily fit a stainless liner that now runs up the same stack.
Code requires the liner to suit the appliance it vents, and the top of that liner still needs a proper termination. When an insert or relining has changed the flue, we fit the cap to what is there now.
Every chimney cap installation we do in Clyde Hill includes:

Book nowThe cap problems we find on the hill are rarely exotic. A missing cap after a storm, a mesh screen rusted through, a cap sized for the original clay flue that no longer fits after an insert and liner were added, or a spark screen clogged solid. Any of these lets water into the flue, and water is what turns a small cap problem into a masonry one.
We measure the flue tile, the crown and the space around them, and note any damage the cap would sit on.
A single-flue cap or one that covers the whole crown, with the price from our grid, written down before you approve.
The cap is secured to the tile or crown so it stays put through the windy months, with the screen checked for gaps.
You receive pictures of the installed cap and a note about anything we saw on the crown that needs attention.

A chimney cap heads CSIA's short list of low-cost ways to prevent water damage, alongside a proper crown, good flashing and a water repellent. Water, the institute says, causes more damage to masonry chimneys than fire.
In western Washington that matters for half the year: the wet season opens in October, and January humidity stays close to 80 percent even in the afternoon. An open flue in those months is simply a rain gauge.
Clyde Hill is a small, affluent residential city on the high ground just north of downtown Bellevue, with large single-family estate homes.

$235–$845 installed, stainless steel. Single-flue caps land toward the lower figure, crown-wide or custom caps toward the upper one.
Where a spark arrestor is fitted, the residential code sets its details: openings no larger than half an inch, a corrosion-resistant screen, a net free area at least four times the flue outlet and a removable top for cleaning. We check any cap against those points before it goes on.
A correctly sized cap should not. A cap that is too small, or a screen clogged with soot, can restrict the draft, which is why we size it to the flue and check the mesh.
Yes. An unused flue still takes rain and invites nests, and a cap is the cheapest protection against both.
