Keeping the chase dry while a cover is made
Because covers are fabricated to measure, there is a gap between the measuring visit and installation. If water is getting in, keep the fireplace out of use and move anything valuable away from the wet area below. Do not climb onto the roof to tape or tarp the chimney yourself.
Where a temporary measure makes sense, our team can discuss one on the first visit, as long as it does not block the termination or trap water in the chase. The permanent fix is the new cover, and we schedule it as soon as the fabricated part is ready.
Looking after a new chase cover
Once the new cover is in place, a look from the ground after heavy storms is usually enough. Watch for a cover that has shifted, new rust marks on the siding or water where it did not appear before. Keeping branches trimmed back from the chase stops leaves piling up on the cover.
Do not climb up to adjust the cover or the storm collar. If something looks wrong, call and describe it. NFPA safety guidance recommends having chimneys inspected every year, and the chase top is part of that check.
Decorative shrouds on factory-built chimneys
Some homeowners want a decorative top that hides the round cap of a factory-built chimney. Florida's residential code permits a decorative shroud on top of a factory-built chimney only when that shroud carries a listing and label for the exact chimney system and goes on as the manufacturer's instructions direct.
An unlisted shroud can change how the chimney behaves at the top. If you want a different look, we find out whether a listed shroud exists for your system and explain what it would involve. The chase cover underneath still needs its own slope, collar and drip edge.
Where the chase sits on the house
Factory-built fireplace instructions describe more than one way to enclose the chimney. The manual for one widely sold series shows a fireplace and chimney enclosed in an exterior chase, a chimney offset through an exterior wall into a chase, and a chase built on the roof.
The cover is the same kind of part in each case, but the water paths around it differ. A chase on the roof also depends on the flashing at its base, while a chase on an outside wall depends on the siding and on the junction where the roof meets it. We look at the arrangement on your home before quoting.
