Chimney Spark Arrestor Installation Built for Winnipeg Homes
A spark arrestor is a critical safety upgrade that sits at the top of your chimney. It prevents dangerous embers from escaping onto your roof, keeps animals from nesting in your flue, and blocks leaves, snow, and debris from clogging your chimney cap. Zega Roofing installs durable, code-compliant spark arrestors that are:
- Made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel or galvanized steel
- Designed to fit wood-burning and gas fireplace chimneys
- Mesh-screened to stop sparks, embers, and debris
- Secured to withstand high winds and ice buildup
- Custom-fitted to your chimney cap or flue dimensions
Our team ensures proper sizing, airflow, and installation technique to prevent draft issues, while protecting your home from real seasonal risks.
Why Winnipeg Homes Need Chimney Spark Arrestors
Reduce Fire Risk Year-Round
A spark arrestor stops lit embers from escaping your chimney and landing on your roof or yard, especially dangerous during dry fall conditions or after prolonged wood-burning use in winter.
Keep Out Birds, Rodents, and Debris
Homes in River Heights, Fort Garry, and older areas are particularly vulnerable to chimney blockages caused by nesting birds, squirrels, and falling leaves. Arrestors help prevent dangerous clogs and backup.
Meet Manitoba Fire Code Recommendations
While not all homes are legally required to have spark arrestors, many home insurance providers and local fire departments recommend them, especially for wood-burning systems.
Protect Against Snow and Ice
Winnipeg winters bring strong winds and drifting snow. Our spark arrestors are engineered to stay secure and functional even during blizzards and freezing conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Spark Arrestors in Winnipeg
Is a spark arrestor required by law in Winnipeg?
In most cases, no, but it is strongly recommended, especially for wood-burning fireplaces or stoves. Many insurance companies prefer or require them for fire safety. We install spark arrestors that meet Manitoba building code guidelines.
Do spark arrestors cause chimney blockages?
Not when properly sized and installed. We use the correct mesh gauge to balance spark protection and airflow. Arrestors are designed to prevent blockages, not create them.
Can I install a spark arrestor myself?
We don’t recommend it. Chimney work requires rooftop access, proper fitting, and safety knowledge. An incorrect install can restrict airflow, cause backdrafts, or come loose during high winds. Zega Roofing ensures it’s done right.
How long do spark arrestors last?
With proper materials and installation, a chimney spark arrestor can last 10–20 years. We use corrosion-resistant steel built to withstand Winnipeg’s temperature swings and precipitation.
What kind of maintenance is needed?
Minimal. During your annual chimney inspection, your arrestor should be checked for creosote buildup or corrosion. We offer inspections and maintenance services as needed.
How much does installation cost in Winnipeg?
Pricing varies based on your chimney type, size, and roof access. Contact us for a free, no-obligation estimate.
