A cover made to measure

Chase tops come in every size, since chases are built to fit each house. A stock cover rarely fits well, and one that's too small lets water in at the edges while one that's too big sags.

So the top of your chase gets measured, along with the pipe's size and position and any other pipes or vents through it, and a cover is made to those dimensions. It comes back with a turned-down edge, a drip and a collar sized to the pipe. The measuring happens on the free inspection, so the new cover is ordered right the first time. Ask about a made-to-measure chase cover in Orange Heights by phoning (352) 675-6366.

In our service area, Orange Heights is grouped with Alachua County. Orange Heights sits away from Florida's Gulf and Atlantic shoreline.

Local Conditions

Chases on homes being reroofed

If a new roof is going on your home in Orange Heights, the chase cover is easiest to replace while the roofers are flashing around the chase base. Our pros coordinate with your roofer, so the chase is sealed top and bottom in one project and the quote shows who does what. Base flashing and cover are finished together. The quote splits the work clearly.

The job a chase cover does

Factory-built fireplaces send their smoke up a metal chimney pipe, and on many homes that pipe climbs the exterior wall inside a framed box called a chase. The chase is covered in siding like the rest of the house.

The chase cover seals the top of that box. It keeps rain, animals and debris out of the chase while the pipe passes up through a collar in its center.

Majestic, for one, requires a chase top on these installations and describes how it's built. When it fails, water runs straight down into the framing and the fireplace below.

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.

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.
