A flat top that holds water

Go up after a rain and see a puddle sitting on the chase cover? A flat cover can't shed water. It ponds, and ponded water sits on the metal until it rusts through, then drains straight into the chase.

Chimney makers such as Majestic want the chase top sloped away from the pipe opening so water runs off to the edges. Our pros replace flat covers with ones that pitch outward or rise in the middle, a turned-down edge and a drip, so water leaves the top of the chase instead of sitting on it. Talk to our specialists about the flat chase top in Evinston by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Storm wind on a chase in Evinston

A strong storm can reach well inland and peel a loose chase cover edge up, or drop a limb that dents the cover into a bowl that holds water.

Once the wind drops, our pros look over every part at the chase top, refasten what's loose, and replace what's damaged. If rain is due, a temporary cover goes on first. The pipe cap is checked at the same time.

The turned-down edge and drip

A chase cover doesn't just lie on top of the chase. Its edges turn down over the sides of the framing, and the bottom of that turndown kicks out to form a drip.

The turndown keeps wind-driven rain from blowing in under the edge, and the drip throws water clear of the siding below so it doesn't run down the chase walls.

Majestic's instructions describe both. Our specialists have covers made with a turndown long enough to lap over the top of the siding and a drip that actually sheds water, then fasten them through the turndown where the screws stay out of standing water.

Seating and sealing the storm collar

Clamped around the pipe just above the chase cover's collar, the storm collar flares out like a skirt so water runs off it onto the cover instead of down the gap.

Chimney makers describe sliding it down snug and sealing it with waterproof caulk, with Superior sealing it where it meets the pipe and Majestic sealing it to the pipe and to the chase top, while leaving ventilation openings clear.

Our pros seat and seal the storm collar to the instructions for your chimney system. A slipped or cracked storm collar is a common leak point, and it's priced separately from the cover.

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.

FAQs

Worth knowing before a chase cover order

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.

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 Evinston at (352) 675-6366.
