Chimney Cap Installation
Orangeburg SC

The City of Orangeburg describes itself as 37 miles southeast of the State Capitol and 8.3 square miles in area.

That figure comes from the City's City of Orangeburg, About page. We mention it because Orangeburg is farther from Columbia than most Midlands addresses on our list, so confirming service and timing for your street matters before you plan around a visit.

The Census Bureau lists Orangeburg city in Orangeburg County. Local rules for city addresses come from the City, and for addresses outside city limits from the county. Check with the office for your address before authorizing work.

The person who owns the property approves the work. If you are a tenant who noticed a missing cap, water in the fireplace, or animal noises, tell the landlord or manager and ask them to call 864-727-7460. If you manage several properties, we can quote each address separately so the owner can approve. Include the owner's name and the best contact for access with each address, because a roof visit cannot be scheduled until both are known. Tenants should still report water or animal noises right away, even if approval takes a few days.

Tenants should not use a fireplace with a missing cap, a nest, or water in the firebox until it has been checked. If a gas appliance vent cap is missing or damaged, the appliance should stay off.

Do not wait for winter. The South Carolina State Climatology Office describes rain distributed across the year in South Carolina with no wet or dry season, and peaks in March and July. A flue that has been open all summer may already have a rusted damper or soaked smoke chamber by the time the first fire is planned. We look at the damper when we measure for the cap. A damper that no longer closes also lets conditioned air escape up the flue between fires, which is one more reason to look at it during the cap visit. If the damper is rusted shut or will not seal, we tell you, and a top-sealing damper cap is one option we can quote alongside a standard cap.
