Fortune Restoration can restore or completely replace your chimney caps. Chimney caps can extend the life of your chimney and can help reduce buildup of rain and moisture in your chimney. A brick chimney can last for years if built properly, but the chimney is prone to elements, they tend to crack and water begins to seep in over time. Cracks and seepage in brick chimneys can get worse very quickly; therefore it is really important to fix it.
