Getting ready to sell

Selling a house that has a metal fireplace? A rusted chase cover or stains on the chase siding will show up on the buyer's inspection and raise questions about what's inside.

A new cover, a check of the collar and storm collar, and a heads-up on anything in the chase a buyer's inspector might flag, with prices, put you ahead of that. The work comes with our workmanship warranty and a record of what was done. Our specialists also check the siding and base flashing that a buyer's inspector will look at, and they'll tell you which items matter most for the sale. Ask for a pre-listing chase check in Hawthorne by calling (352) 675-6366.

Our Hawthorne coverage is inland from the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. From the Gainesville reference point, Hawthorne is about 15 miles away in a direct line.

Local Conditions

Siding stains on inland homes

Rust streaks on the chase siding of a home in Hawthorne 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.

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.

Cleaning rust stains off the siding

Every rain carries rust from a failing cover down the chase siding and leaves orange streaks. Once the new cover is on, the source is gone, and the stains stop growing.

Cleaning what's already there depends on the siding. Some cleans up well with a cleaner made for rust stains; some, especially older painted siding, may need repainting to look right.

A small test area comes first, so you know what to expect for your siding. Cleaning is priced separately from the cover, and painting, if needed, goes to a painter. The cleaning method is named on the quote.

Telling the cover from the cap

Factory-built chimneys have a chase cover and a chimney cap, separate parts that fail separately. The cover is the flat sheet on top of the framed box; the cap is the listed hood on the pipe.

Rust streaks on the siding and water inside the chase point to the cover. Rain coming straight down the pipe, a missing screen or smoke problems point to the cap.

Both parts get a look on every visit and a price on their own lines, so you don't pay to replace a sound part while the failing one keeps leaking.

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.

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.
