Jim Baird 39 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Katen 159 Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 I'd say it's fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erby 41 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marc 90 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Lamb 65 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Baird 39 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
