A chase with more than one pipe

Does your chase hold two chimney pipes, or a chimney and a vent? The cover needs a collar for each pipe, placed where they come through, and the pipes' terminations need room between them.

Makers' instructions call for spacing several terminations apart and staggering their heights, so smoke from one doesn't drift into the other. Our specialists measure every pipe's position and have the cover made with collars to match. Each collar is sized to its pipe with the small gap the maker calls for. Ask our pros about a multi-pipe chase cover in Haile Plantation by dialing (352) 675-6366.

Haile Plantation falls in the Alachua County part of our service area. Neither the Gulf nor Atlantic coast reaches Haile Plantation.

Local Conditions

Leaves on a chase top

If trees overhang your roof in Haile Plantation, leaves and needles land on the chase cover and pile against the collar, holding water against the metal long after rain stops. Our specialists clear the debris, check the metal underneath for rust, and make sure the new cover's slope carries leaves and water off the edges. A clean, sloped cover sheds the next load of leaves more easily.

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.

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.

Recoating a cover or replacing it

Galvanized covers with only surface rust can be cleaned, primed and recoated to buy time. It's a smaller job, and it makes sense when the metal is still solid and the cover already slopes.

A cover that's pitted, holed, flat or undersized is past that point, and paint over it only hides the rust for a season.

Metal thickness at the worst spots and the cover's shape decide which one our specialists recommend. You'll see both prices where both are reasonable, with the reasons one is the better value for your chase. Either way, the fasteners are checked and replaced if they've rusted.

FAQs

Worth knowing before a chase cover order

Chase cover or chimney cap, which is which?

No. The cover seals the top of the framed box; the cap sits on the pipe. Our specialists check both and price each separately, so you only replace the one that's failing.

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 Haile Plantation at (352) 675-6366.
