• Reduces moisture: A New Hope chimney cap will keep rain water from coming down your home’s chimney. Rain water can damage chimneys with stainless steel liners, chimney dampers and chimney mortar joints. Beyond the damage from the water itself, moisture from rain water can produce mold and mildew which can be harmful for humans and pets.
• Keeps animals out: Animals like birds, raccoons and squirrels often try to make their homes within chimneys. In many cases, these critters will enter the chimney but won’t be able to exit, eventually dying. This can produce maggots, flies and putrid odors in your home. A properly sized and professionally installed New Hope chimney cap will  prevent animals from being able to enter the chimney.
• Blocks downdrafts: If the wind is blowing in a certain direction, it can introduce a downdraft. If you don’t have a New Hope chimney cap and you’re using a wood-burning fireplace at the time, a wind-induced downdraft has the potential of blowing smoke back into your home. The flat-shaped top of a chimney cap is designed to help prevent wind-induced downdrafts.
• Stops sparks and embers: Some people refer to chimney caps as spark arrestors, which means that the chimney cap helps prevent lit embers or sparks that travel up the chimney from landing on roof, possibly catching it on fire.
• Prevents debris build-up: Leaves, branches, twigs and other debris can enter a chimney and build up if a chimney cap is not in place.
