How our pros handle chase covers in Florida Center
Cross-breaks that give the sheet a slope
Cross-breaks are shallow creases pressed corner to corner across the sheet. They stiffen the metal and turn a flat panel into four gentle slopes that drain toward the edges, which is often enough on a small or medium chase. The creases have to meet at a raised point near the collar. Creases that meet low steer water toward the pipe instead of away from it, so we confirm the direction of fall before the cover is fastened. On a chase much wider than it is deep, the creases are laid out so the long sides still get enough fall.
Taking the old cover off without damage
Old covers are often held by rusted screws, sealant and sometimes nails through the top. We remove them in a way that protects the siding, trim and chimney pipe, lifting the termination cap off first when it is staying. Old sealant is scraped from the chase top so the new skirt sits flat. The removed metal leaves with us, and the roof and the ground below are cleared before we go. Any fastener holes left in the framing are checked and filled before the new skirt covers them.
Brick-faced chases around a metal chimney
Some homes have a factory-built chimney inside a chase faced with brick or stone veneer. The lid over that enclosure is still a chase cover, and it still needs a collar, a slope and a drip edge. The top edge of the veneer is often uneven, so the skirt is sized to its highest points. We also check whether the top of the veneer is sealed or open, because water entering there follows a different path than water through the cover.
What the free inspection includes
The free inspection covers the chase top from the roof, the visible chase walls, the termination cap and storm collar, and a look at the fireplace from inside for signs of water. We measure for a replacement at the same visit. You receive written findings and a price for each recommended item. The visit is free, and you decide afterwards whether the work goes ahead. If we find nothing wrong with the cover, we tell you so.
