Jim Baird Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 IRC calls for metal chimney cap to made so that water drains off. See pics of new cap not draining. Do you think the cap is not designed right, or is installation the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I'd say it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Technically, I'd say it's not designed with enough slope to run the water off. Realistically, there's bigger fish to fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) It does keep water from getting where it doesn't belong. Doesn't make it into my report. Edited November 13, 2020 by Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Photo says non-issue. I would treat it like a flat roof. Will it dry off in 48 hrs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted November 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 Thanks for the replies. In this case the installer did not like the photos when shown them and returned to correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
