Metal thickness and a cover that keeps its shape
Thin sheet metal flexes across a wide chase and can dish between its edges. The manual we follow for one fireplace series gives a minimum of 26-gauge galvanized steel for its chase top. That figure is a floor for that system, not a recommendation for every chase.
On larger chases a heavier sheet or formed breaks help the cover hold its pitch. We match the metal and thickness to the size of the chase and explain the choice on your estimate. A cover that keeps its shape keeps draining, which is the main thing it has to do.
Keeping records of the chase cover work
Keep the estimate and the completion summary for the chase cover with the fireplace manual if you have it. The metal, the collar arrangement and the date of replacement help anyone who works on the chimney later, and they answer questions that come up when the home is sold.
If the fireplace label or manual is missing, keep the model details we record during the visit. Having the chimney system identified makes the next repair simpler and helps avoid mismatched parts on the pipe or cap.
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.
What to have ready for the chase inspection
A few details make the free inspection more useful. If you have the fireplace manual or know its make and model, keep it handy. Note where and when you have seen water or stains, and whether the chase cover has been patched or replaced before.
Let us know about pets, gates and where a ladder can be set safely. None of this is required, since we can identify the system on site, but it helps the visit move quickly.
On any service we offer
The free chase inspection starts 72 hours in which the cover is 10% off.
