Our approach to chase covers in South Semoran
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.
Painting a new cover to match the house
Some owners want the chase top to match the roof or trim color. Stainless and copper are usually left unpainted. Galvanized steel can be painted, but zinc needs the right primer or the paint may peel. If color matters to you, tell us early. We explain which metals take paint well, whether a factory-coated sheet is available and how painting affects the schedule. Paint on the skirt should stop short of the collar, where heat from the pipe can blister it.
A look at the chase top before the burning season
If you use the fireplace when the weather cools, have the chase top looked at beforehand. A cover problem found early can be fixed on your schedule, before a fire is lit in a system that has been taking on water. NFPA 211 calls for chimneys, fireplaces and vents to be inspected annually, and on a factory-built system the chase top belongs in that yearly look. A yearly check catches a failing cover before it shows up as a stained ceiling.
When the pipe sits off center in the chase
Few chimney pipes rise exactly through the middle of the chase. Framing, offsets and elbows in the pipe route shift the termination toward one side or corner. The new collar goes where the pipe actually is, measured from two sides of the chase. We also shape the slope so water drains away from an off-center pipe on the short side as well as the long side. On a narrow chase, that can mean a pitched top rather than simple cross-breaks.
