What goes into a new chase top in Mercy Drive
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.
Soft wood under the old cover
Lifting a failed cover sometimes reveals dark, soft wood along the top plates or sheathing of the chase. A new cover cannot fasten well to rotted framing, and the damp continues beneath it. That is structural enclosure work, handled as chimney chase repair, and we price it separately for you to approve before we proceed. When the rot is limited, the framing repair and the new cover can often be scheduled together so the chase is closed up once.
Leaves and needles on the chase top
Trees near the roof drop leaves, needles and seed pods that collect on a chase cover, especially one with little slope. The debris holds moisture against the metal and blocks the path water should take to the edges. A well-shaped cover sheds much of it on its own. If branches overhang the chase, trimming them back reduces both debris and a climbing route for animals, and we point out those limbs during the inspection. Pine needles tend to lodge in the creases of a cover, and a steeper pitch helps them wash off.
Product warranties and our workmanship warranty
Metal suppliers and cap manufacturers may offer their own product warranties, and they set those terms. Our workmanship warranty covers how the cover was measured, ordered and installed. The installation record lists the parts used, so you have what you need if a product question ever comes up with a supplier. Keep that record with the fireplace manual, since a supplier may ask for the model of the chimney system as well as the cover details. If a supplier warranty applies, we tell you what it covers and what it does not, as far as the supplier states it.

Chase cover questions from Mercy Drive
Can a rusted chase cover be patched?
A small, isolated defect can sometimes be repaired. A cover rusted through in several places keeps failing around each patch, so we explain which option fits your cover after seeing it.
