Replacing the cover during a reroof

Reroofing soon? It's a good time to replace a rusting chase cover, since the roofers will be flashing around the base of the chase and it's easiest to sort the top at the same time.

Our specialists coordinate with your roofer so the chase cover, collar and storm collar are finished while the roof is open, and the flashing at the chase base ties in properly with the new roofing. The quote splits the work between us and the roofer, line by line. Talk to our pros about the chase cover during your reroof in Bell: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Siding stains on inland homes

Rust streaks on the chase siding of a home in Bell are the sign of a failing cover you can spot from the yard. They keep growing until the source is replaced.

Once the new cover is on, our specialists test a cleaning method on a small area of siding and price the cleanup separately. The siding cleanup is its own line. Painting, if needed, goes to a painter.

Caulk around the pipe isn't the fix

It's tempting to caulk the pipe tight to the collar and call it done. Majestic's instructions warn against caulking the chimney pipe to the chase top collar, since the pipe needs to move as it heats and some systems rely on air moving around it.

The storm collar is what sheds water from that gap, and it's sealed to the pipe the way the chimney maker describes.

Our specialists follow each maker's instructions for which joints get sealant and which stay open. Sealing the wrong gap can damage the chimney, so the manual for your model is read before any caulk comes out.

Measuring for a custom cover

Chases are framed to suit each house, so their tops come in every size, and they're rarely perfectly square. A cover that fits needs to be made to measure.

Each side of the chase top is measured, then both diagonals; our specialists note where the pipe comes through and how big it is, and record any other vent or pipe passing through.

Those measurements go to the sheet-metal shop, and the cover comes back with its turndown, drip, slope and collar in the right places. It's a second trip, and it's what makes the new cover fit tight on every edge.

Setting the new chase cover in place

On replacement day, our pros protect the roof, remove the listed cap and the storm collar, and pull the old cover and its fasteners. They check the top of the framing and repair anything soft before the new cover goes on.

The made-to-measure cover is set with its collar over the pipe, the turndown lapped over the siding, and fastened through the sides. Seams are sealed.

Next the storm collar is refitted and sealed per the chimney maker's instructions, and the cap returns to the pipe. The old cover leaves with them, and the roof below is cleaned. Old fasteners go too.

FAQs

Chase top questions we hear

Why did my old cover rust through?

It was probably flat, so water sat on it, or its coating wore through at seams and fastener holes. New covers from our pros slope water off to the edges.

Is a chase cover covered by a warranty?

Yes, our workmanship warranty covers the cover we fit, and the quote records its metal, size and how the collar and storm collar were sealed. Reserve your free chase inspection in Bell at (352) 675-6366.
