Lid trouble or box trouble?

A leaking chase can have two problems at once: a failing cover on top, and rotten framing or siding underneath from years of that leak. Replacing the lid without checking the box can leave soft wood holding up a new cover.

That's why both get a look. Our pros press on the siding near the top, look inside the chase from the top opening where they can, and tell you if the framing is sound. Rotten wood is priced as its own item, and your quote says who handles siding and framing work. Reserve a lid-and-box check for your chase in Andrews: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Fasteners on inland chases

Even inland in Andrews, ordinary screws holding a chase cover rust and leave streaks, and screws in soft wood pull loose in wind. Our specialists use corrosion-resistant screws through the turndown, into sound framing, and repair any soft wood first. The screw heads are sealed at the turndown so water can't follow them in. The fastener type is on the quote, and the framing is checked before the cover goes on.

Covers for chases with several pipes

Two chimney pipes, or a pipe and a vent for another appliance, can share one chase. The cover needs a separate collar for each, and each termination needs room around it.

Where several terminations share a chase, the permitted separation and relative heights need checking for those systems. Their arrangement cannot be selected from another model's drawing. The replacement cover must accommodate the approved layout without obstructing required openings.

Our specialists measure every pipe's position, check the spacing and heights against the maker's guidance, and have the cover made with collars to match. If spacing is off, they'll explain the options. The spacing goes on the quote.

Firestops inside the chase

Chimneys of the factory-built kind are designed with firestops where it passes each floor or ceiling level. Majestic's instructions, for example, place a ceiling firestop at every floor level the chase passes.

Firestops keep a fire in the chase from racing up through the framing, and they're part of how the system was listed. Remodeling, water damage or earlier repairs can leave them missing or damaged.

Wherever the chase can be opened or seen into, our pros look for them and note anything missing, with a price for the listed parts to put it right. Parts come from the chimney maker.

Fasteners that don't rust first

A new cover is only as good as what holds it on. Ordinary steel screws rust before the cover does and leave streaks down the siding; screws driven into soft wood pull out in the wind.

Our specialists fasten covers through the side of the turndown with corrosion-resistant screws suited to the cover metal and the chase framing, and they avoid screwing through the flat top where water would sit around the fastener.

Where the framing is pressure-treated, fasteners rated for treated wood are used. The fastener type goes on the quote along with the cover metal. Screw heads are sealed where they pass the turndown.

FAQs

Ask our pros about chase tops in Andrews

Do you fix rotten wood under the cover?

Our pros repair the framing at the top of the chase so the new cover has solid wood to fasten into. Larger carpentry and siding work is named on the quote with the right trade.

Why shouldn't the pipe be caulked to the collar?

Chimney makers such as Majestic warn against it, since the pipe needs to move as it heats. The storm collar sheds water from that gap and is sealed the way the maker describes.
