Replacing the cover during a reroof

Reroofing soon? It's a good time to replace a rusting chase cover, since the roofers will be flashing around the base of the chase and it's easiest to sort the top at the same time.

Our specialists coordinate with your roofer so the chase cover, collar and storm collar are finished while the roof is open, and the flashing at the chase base ties in properly with the new roofing. The quote splits the work between us and the roofer, line by line. Talk to our pros about the chase cover during your reroof in Rochelle: (352) 675-6366.

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

Local Conditions

Storm wind on a chase in Rochelle

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.

Siding, water barrier and flashing at the base

Water can get in behind the siding at the chase base just as it can at the top. The siding needs a water-resistive barrier behind it, lapped so water runs out and down, and step flashing tucked up under the siding where it meets the roofing.

From inside, a leak at the base can look like a cover problem, so the chase base gets checked along with its top.

Flashing at the base is ours where the roofing around it is sound; siding and barrier replacement go to the right trade, and the quote names them. Both ends of the chase get checked on one visit.

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.

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

Why did my old cover rust through?

It was probably flat, so water sat on it, or its coating wore through at seams and fastener holes. New covers from our pros slope water off to the edges.

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.
