Our approach to chase covers in Eagle Creek
Keeping the listed termination cap in service
Factory-built chimneys are tested and listed as systems under UL 103, and the Florida residential code requires them to be installed and terminated according to the manufacturer's instructions. The cap on top belongs to that system. When the cap is sound, we lift it off carefully, replace the cover beneath and reinstall the same cap. When it is damaged, the replacement should be the cap approved for that chimney model, since a cap chosen for looks can change how the system was listed to perform.
Rust on the chimney pipe itself
The outer casing of a factory-built chimney pipe is meant to stay dry inside the chase. When rain has been getting past the cover, the top section of pipe can show surface rust or staining. Light surface marks may only need watching. Perforation or other damage to the pipe is a different matter, because the pipe is a listed component and replacement sections must be the ones approved for that chimney. We describe what we see and what it means for your system.
A cover that rattles or booms in wind
A drumming or rattling noise near the chimney on windy days can come from a chase cover that has loosened or lost its stiffness. Loose screws, a warped sheet or a skirt pulled away from the siding let the metal move. Besides the noise, the movement widens screw holes and breaks sealant. We check whether your existing cover can be refastened or needs replacement, and the estimate explains which and why. A rattling cover can also loosen the storm collar above it, so we check that part at the same time.
Scheduling the inspection and the installation
Chase cover work usually takes two visits. The first is the free inspection, where we measure, look at everything we can reach and write the estimate. The second is installation, after the cover has been fabricated to those measurements. Same-day service is available for many inspections in Eagle Creek, and we give you an expected fabrication window when you approve the work. If the old cover is leaking badly in the meantime, we talk through temporary protection. If you are comparing quotes, the free inspection gives you a written scope you can hold other proposals against.

What is the difference between a chase cover and a chimney cap?
The chase cover is the broad metal lid over the framed enclosure. The cap is the smaller hooded part on the chimney pipe. Either can rust, and we identify which one needs work before quoting.
What if the wood under my Eagle Creek chase cover is rotten?
We stop, show you what we found and write up the framing repair as a separate item. Nothing is added to your bill until you approve it.
