Chase cover or chimney cap?

A factory-built chimney has two metal parts up top, and they're easy to mix up. The chase cover is the flat sheet sealing the top of the framed box. The cap is the hood on top of the pipe itself, listed for that chimney system.

A leak or rust stain can come from either one. Our pros check both and tell you which is failing, so you don't pay for a new cap when the cover is the problem, or the other way round. Each is priced on its own line. Speak with a local pro about the top of your chase in Brooker at (352) 675-6366.

Neither the Gulf nor Atlantic coast reaches Brooker. Measured directly, about 14 miles separate Brooker from the Gainesville reference point.

Local Conditions

Animals near the chase

Backing onto woods or fields, a home in Brooker with a holed, rusted chase cover offers animals an easy way into a sheltered space. Our specialists check that nothing is living in the chase before sealing it, and our animal removal pros handle anything they find. The new cover then fits tight so nothing else gets in.

How It Works

Your chase cover visit in Brooker, in order

  1. Check lid and box

    The cover, collar, storm collar and cap are looked over first, along with the framing beneath.

  2. Measure and order

    The chase top is measured on every side, and the cover is made with slope and collars.

  3. Fit and fasten

    Soft framing is repaired, and the new cover is set, fastened through the sides and sealed.

  4. Seal and cap

    The storm collar is sealed to the maker's instructions and the listed cap goes back on.

How high the pipe has to stand

Roof geometry and nearby building portions matter when termination height is assessed. The actual chimney's instructions determine how its height is measured and what arrangement is permitted. Our specialists check that configuration before a cover or termination is changed.

On a tall chase, the pipe still has to meet that rule above the new cover. Our pros check the height when they replace the cover and tell you if the pipe falls short. Any extension has to come from the same maker, and your quote says who fits it.

Siding, water barrier and flashing at the base

Water can get in behind the siding at the chase base just as it can at the top. The siding needs a water-resistive barrier behind it, lapped so water runs out and down, and step flashing tucked up under the siding where it meets the roofing.

From inside, a leak at the base can look like a cover problem, so the chase base gets checked along with its top.

Flashing at the base is ours where the roofing around it is sound; siding and barrier replacement go to the right trade, and the quote names them. Both ends of the chase get checked on one visit.

Keeping animals out of the chase

A rusted hole in the cover, a gap at the edge or a missing storm collar can give animals a sheltered route into the chase. From there, some find their way down toward the fireplace.

Before a new cover goes on, our pros make sure nothing is nesting in the chase, since sealing it up with an animal inside creates a bigger problem. If something is there, our animal removal specialists deal with it first.

The new cover then fits tight on every edge, and the listed cap on the pipe keeps the flue itself closed to them. Nothing gets sealed inside.

FAQs

Worth knowing before a chase cover order

Can you fit a new cover on the same day?

Chase covers are made to measure, so the first visit measures and the second fits. If the chase is leaking now, our pros can cover the top in the meantime.

Do you check for animals before sealing the chase?

Yes. Nothing gets sealed in. If an animal is nesting in the chase, our animal removal specialists handle it before the new cover goes on.
