Metal fireplaces and a home purchase

Looking at a house with a metal fireplace in a chase? The chase cover is easy to miss on a general home inspection, and a rusted one can mean water damage inside the chase. You'll also hear what the fireplace model is and whether its parts are still available.

Before closing, have our local pros look over the cover, the storm collar, the cap and the framing they can see; the findings and any repair prices come up front, ready for your negotiation. They'll also read the fireplace's rating plate so you know what you're buying. Ask for a chase check before you buy in Williston by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Animals near the chase

Backing onto woods or fields, a home in Williston with a holed, rusted chase cover offers animals an easy way into a sheltered space. Our specialists check that nothing is living in the chase before sealing it, and our animal removal pros handle anything they find. The new cover then fits tight so nothing else gets in.

How It Works

Four stops from measure to storm collar

Check lid and box

The cover, collar, storm collar and cap are looked over first, along with the framing beneath.
Measure and order

The chase top is measured on every side, and the cover is made with slope and collars.
Fit and fasten

Soft framing is repaired, and the new cover is set, fastened through the sides and sealed.
Seal and cap

The storm collar is sealed to the maker's instructions and the listed cap goes back on.

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.

Galvanized, painted or stainless

Chase covers are made from galvanized steel, painted galvanized, or stainless steel. Galvanized is the least expensive and relies on its zinc coating, which slowly wears away where water sits.

Painted galvanized adds a layer that looks good until the paint fails, and then rust spreads under it. Stainless steel doesn't rely on a coating, lasts much longer and doesn't need repainting, though it costs more at the start.

You'll hear how each will look and wear on your house, and whichever you choose, the fasteners are matched to it. The metal is named on the quote. Stainless also keeps its looks.

Rot in the chase framing

Years of water coming through a failing cover soak the top plates, studs and sheathing of the chase. Soft wood near the top, bulging siding and dark stains running down the chase are the signs.

A new cover fastened into rotten wood won't hold, and rot keeps spreading if the wet wood is left in place. Our specialists probe the framing at the top of the chase and look inside where they can reach.

Rotten framing and sheathing are priced as their own items, and the quote names who handles carpentry and siding if it's beyond the chimney work. Fixing the wood first keeps the new cover secure.

FAQs

Asked about chase covers in Williston

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.

Do you fix rotten wood under the cover?

Our pros repair the framing at the top of the chase so the new cover has solid wood to fasten into. Larger carpentry and siding work is named on the quote with the right trade.
