Jim Baird 28 Posted November 12 Report Share Posted November 12 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 133 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 I'd say it's fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erby 40 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 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 81 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 (edited) It does keep water from getting where it doesn't belong. Doesn't make it into my report. Edited November 13 by Marc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Lamb 58 Posted November 13 Report Share Posted November 13 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 28 Posted November 14 Author Report Share Posted November 14 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
