A tall chase and a short pipe
The required termination height comes from the actual chimney system and its surroundings. Our pros identify the system and consider the roof geometry before recommending changes. A height quoted for another model cannot establish that this chimney is correctly installed.
Where a chase was built tall, the pipe inside still has to meet those rules above the chase cover. Our pros check the pipe's height and its listed cap, and if the pipe falls short, they'll tell you, with your quote saying who fits the maker's extension. Speak with our specialists about your chase and pipe height in East Williston: (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions
Chases with a vent and a chimney
A chase in East Williston can carry a chimney pipe and a vent for another appliance. Each needs its own collar, and the terminations need spacing between them. Our pros measure both pipes and have the cover made with collars placed to match, checking the spacing against the maker's guidance. Spacing and heights follow the chimney maker's guidance. Each collar is sized to its pipe.

Why a chase cover needs slope
A flat piece of sheet metal on top of a chase holds water in every low spot, and standing water is what rusts a cover through. The chimney maker's instructions call for the top to slope away from the pipe opening, with Majestic giving a minimum of a quarter inch per foot.
Our pros have new covers built with that slope, using a raised center, diagonal breaks or a pitched shape, so water runs toward the edges and off the drip.
A cover that sheds water dries quickly after rain, and a dry cover lasts far longer than one that sits in a puddle.
Galvanized, painted or stainless
Chase covers are made from galvanized steel, painted galvanized, or stainless steel. Galvanized is the least expensive and relies on its zinc coating, which slowly wears away where water sits.
Painted galvanized adds a layer that looks good until the paint fails, and then rust spreads under it. Stainless steel doesn't rely on a coating, lasts much longer and doesn't need repainting, though it costs more at the start.
You'll hear how each will look and wear on your house, and whichever you choose, the fasteners are matched to it. The metal is named on the quote. Stainless also keeps its looks.
Decorative shrouds and the listing
Some chases carry a decorative shroud around the chimney cap, sometimes to make a factory-built chimney look like masonry. The Florida Building Code allows a shroud on a factory-built chimney only when it's listed and labeled for use with that specific chimney system.
An unlisted shroud can trap heat around the cap and change how the chimney drafts.
Any shroud on your chimney gets checked against the chimney's listing during a cover swap. If it isn't listed, our pros explain the options, from a listed shroud to going without, and price them. Nothing unlisted goes back on the pipe. The listing decides.

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.
Can you clean the rust stains off my siding?
In many cases, once the new cover stops the source. Our pros test a small area first, since results depend on the siding. Talk to us about it in East Williston at (352) 675-6366.
