Getting the chase top right in Avalon Park
The raised collar around the pipe opening
Where the chimney pipe passes through the cover, the hole needs a raised collar so water running across the top cannot drop straight down beside the pipe. One widely installed fireplace manual describes a two-inch collar that is soldered, welded or spun, a formed part of the cover rather than a loose ring set in caulk. A short collar or a split collar seam is one reason a newer-looking cover can still leak. We measure the old collar and specify the new one.
Looking at the top firestop while it is exposed
Firestops are the metal plates that close the opening around the pipe where it passes a ceiling or floor level, and they keep debris from dropping down the chase. Water that has entered through a failed cover often runs down the pipe and stains or rusts the upper firestop first. We check what is visible from the top of your Avalon Park chase and tell you whether moisture has reached it, so the repair plan covers the water path as well as the metal lid.
Decorative shrouds over the termination
Some homes have a decorative shroud, a metal housing that hides the termination above the cover. The Florida residential code allows a decorative shroud on a factory-built chimney only when it is listed for use with that specific chimney system. When a shroud is present, we check how it attaches and whether it is the listed accessory, since that affects what can change when the cover beneath it is replaced. Removing a shroud to replace the cover must be done carefully, since some attach to the pipe and some to the chase top.
Timing the cover with exterior painting
If the house is due for exterior paint, replace the chase cover first. The new skirt and drip edge change how the top of the chase looks and where water runs, and painters can then finish the siding right up to the new metal. Painting first and replacing the cover afterward risks scuffs and fastener holes in fresh paint. We are glad to share our schedule with your painter. If the painters are already booked, we can often fit the cover work in the days before they start.
