A flat top that holds water

Go up after a rain and see a puddle sitting on the chase cover? A flat cover can't shed water. It ponds, and ponded water sits on the metal until it rusts through, then drains straight into the chase.

Chimney makers such as Majestic want the chase top sloped away from the pipe opening so water runs off to the edges. Our pros replace flat covers with ones that pitch outward or rise in the middle, a turned-down edge and a drip, so water leaves the top of the chase instead of sitting on it. Talk to our specialists about the flat chase top in Worthington Springs by calling (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Siding stains on inland homes

Rust streaks on the chase siding of a home in Worthington Springs 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 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 a chase cover rusts through

Rust on a chase cover starts where water stays longest: in low spots on a flat top, along seams, around the collar and at fastener holes. The zinc coating wears there first, then the steel beneath starts to rust.

Once a hole opens, water runs straight into the chase every time it rains, soaking the framing and the insulation around the pipe, and reaching the fireplace below.

Those spots get a close look on every inspection. A cover with surface rust can sometimes be cleaned and coated; one with pitting or holes needs replacing, and a sloped stainless cover stops the cycle.

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

Ask our pros about chase tops in Worthington Springs

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.

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.
