How our pros handle chase covers in Whisper Lakes
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.
Laying out a cover for two chimney pipes
Some chases carry two chimney pipes, such as two fireplaces on different floors. Each pipe needs its own collar at its measured center, and the cover has to drain away from both. One manufacturer suggests terminations in a shared chase sit at least twenty-four inches apart center to center, at staggered heights. We measure each pipe's position on the old top and confirm the spacing before fabrication so the new openings line up with the pipes. The drainage has to work between the two collars as well, so water never pools in the space that separates them.
A local family team on your roof
Orlando Chimney Service is family owned and locally owned. We explain chase top findings in plain words, and the details measured on your roof are the details written into the order for the new cover. When you have a question after the job, you reach the same local business that did the work, which keeps the follow-up simple. Our chase cover pros would rather answer a question twice than leave you unsure what was installed. That also means the people who stand behind the workmanship warranty are the same local business you called.
Sizing the collar hole to the pipe
The hole in the cover must suit the outside diameter of the chimney pipe where it passes through. Too large, and the storm collar cannot cover the gap. Too tight, and the pipe loses the small clearance the manuals call for. We measure the pipe itself before ordering, since pipe from different chimney series differs in size even when the fireplaces look alike. The collar is then formed to that diameter with the small gap the manual for your system describes.

Chase cover questions from Whisper Lakes
How long does chase cover replacement take?
It usually takes two visits. We measure at the free inspection, the cover is fabricated to those measurements, and installation follows once it is ready. You get a timeline when you approve the work.
Can the rust stains on my siding be cleaned?
They can often be lightened, and that work is separate from replacing the cover. We list stain cleaning or touch-up paint on its own line so you can decide whether to include it.
