The chase cover and the chimney cap are separate parts
A framed chase is the box, usually sided like the rest of the house, that encloses the metal chimney pipe of a factory-built fireplace. Sheet metal closes the top of that box, and that piece is the chase cover. The chimney pipe passes up through an opening in the cover, and a listed termination cap sits on the end of the pipe.
Because the parts are separate, each one can fail on its own. A cover can rust through under a sound cap, and a cap can be damaged on a sound cover. We identify which part is letting water in before recommending replacement, so you pay for the repair the chimney actually needs.
How far the chimney rises above the roof
Manufacturers also set how far the chimney must extend above the roof. The manual for one common system puts the bottom of the termination cap no less than three feet over the roof, and no less than two feet over any roof surface within ten feet. Other systems carry their own figures.
A new chase cover does not change the height of the pipe, but the visit is a good time to check it. If the termination looks short against its instructions, we explain what we see and what correcting it would involve before any cover is ordered.
How the new chase cover will look from the street
On some homes the chase top can be seen from the street or the yard. A bright new cover, a different metal or a taller collar changes how the top of the chimney looks, and it is worth knowing what to expect before the cover is ordered.
We describe the finish of each metal option and whether the storm collar and cap will show above it. If appearance matters to you, say so at the inspection, and we will account for it along with the details that keep water out.
Chase covers on stucco-finished chases
Where a chase is finished in stucco rather than siding, the skirt of the cover laps over the stucco at the top edge. Cracks, stains or soft areas in the stucco just below the cover can be a sign that water has been getting behind the finish.
We check how the old skirt sat on the stucco and whether the top edge of the finish is sound before measuring. Stucco repair is separate work and appears on its own line, and the new cover is sized so its drip edge carries water clear of the stucco face.
