Rot and firestops inside the chase

Leaking for years, a chase can hide more than wet siding. Inside, the framing may be rotten, and the firestops that the chimney maker calls for at each floor or ceiling level may be missing or damaged.

Where our specialists can reach inside, they look and tell you what they see. The chimney's clearance to wood and insulation is set by its listing, and firestops are part of how the system was designed. Anything missing or damaged is priced, with the trade that should handle it named. Reserve an inside-the-chase look in Micanopy at (352) 675-6366.

Micanopy is one of the Alachua County places our pros cover. The 2020 Census tallied 648 residents for Micanopy.

The collar where the pipe comes through

The pipe opening and collar are part of the chase-top design. Their dimensions and joints must follow the instructions for the actual system, including any ventilation that must remain open. Our pros check those details before a cover is ordered.

The opening must allow the movement and ventilation specified for the actual chimney. A collar dimension from another manual cannot establish that clearance, and required gaps must not simply be filled with sealant.

Our pros measure the pipe positions and inspect the existing joints before specifying a cover. The proposed collar and fastening details should explain how the replacement suits this system and manages water around each opening.

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.

Setting the new chase cover in place

On replacement day, our pros protect the roof, remove the listed cap and the storm collar, and pull the old cover and its fasteners. They check the top of the framing and repair anything soft before the new cover goes on.

The made-to-measure cover is set with its collar over the pipe, the turndown lapped over the siding, and fastened through the sides. Seams are sealed.

Next the storm collar is refitted and sealed per the chimney maker's instructions, and the cap returns to the pipe. The old cover leaves with them, and the roof below is cleaned. Old fasteners go too.

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.

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 Micanopy at (352) 675-6366.
