Getting the chase top right in Wedgefield
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.
Skirt depth and the drip edge
The skirt is the cover's bent-down edge that wraps over the top of each chase wall. It must reach past the top edge of the siding so wind-driven rain cannot blow up under it. At the bottom, a drip edge kicks outward so water falls clear instead of running back along the metal into the wall. Fireplace manuals list a turndown and drip edge as required parts of a chase top, and we set the skirt depth after seeing the wall finish at the top of your chase.
Chases that sit near a gutter or valley
A chase built at an eave or beside a roof valley has extra water running past its base, and splashback can wet the lower siding. The cover at the top is unaffected by that runoff, but the enclosure as a whole is. While inspecting the chase top, we also note where roof water flows around the chase, so any recommendation for diverting it or for flashing work is written up apart from the cover. Water that splashes back onto the lower siding can look like a chase cover leak, which is why we check both ends.
Blistered paint high on the chase
Paint that bubbles or peels on the upper chase siding can mean moisture behind it, and a failing top is one possible source. Water entering at the top soaks the sheathing from the inside and pushes paint off from behind. We read the pattern. Damage concentrated near the top edge points up toward the cover, while damage lower down may point to the siding, trim or windows. We say which pattern we see before quoting any cover work.
