They came by after getting the right equipment since we have a long run and the technician was extremely helpful and professional. After locating the vent pipe in our basement, he was able to find the clog, clear everything out, clean up and get us up and going. Mr Duck was easy to deal with and the whole process from reaching out for a quote to getting everything complete was less than a week. We will use them going forward."

"Service tech arrived at the appointed time. He disassembled the dryer vent pipes and then proceeded to put a steel brush on a series of extensions. A electric drill was attached to the extensions. Once the extensions reached the end of the run, the brush was rotated and pulled back and forth 2 or 3 times. At the bottom of the run was a vacuum cleaner to suck up the lint that had been captured. He then reassembled the dryer vent pipes. He then removed the dryer filter and using approximately ½” plastic pipe inserted the pipe in the area when the filter had been and pulled out quite a bit of lint. He then went outside to clean the lint that could not be reached from the inside. He then removed old duct tape that I had used to seal the pipes and replaced with HVAC Duct Sealing Tape"

Yes, a chimney cap is essential for keeping birds, squirrels, rain, and debris out of the flue. By stopping stray embers and blocking downdrafts, a chimney cap helps your fireplace run safely and efficiently. The cap also protects the chimney’s inner walls from moisture damage, saving you from costly repairs down the road.
Most chimney caps last anywhere from three to 25 years. Galvanized steel sits at the low end, while stainless steel, aluminum, and especially copper can exceed the 25-year mark. Annual inspections, quick repairs, and routine chimney cleanings all help the cap reach its full lifespan and keep the flue protected.
A good rule of thumb is to set the cap at least eight inches above the top of the flue. That clearance keeps the draft strong, lets smoke exit freely, and prevents back-puffing into your living room. Extra height also adds a little more protection from wind-driven rain and snow without hurting airflow.
The crown is the solid concrete or mortar slab that sits on top of the chimney stack and sheds water away from the masonry. The cap, mounted above the flue, adds the final layer of defense by blocking rain, animals, and embers while still letting smoke out. Working together, the crown guards the structure and the cap safeguards the flue.
