What Our Chase Cover Replacement Service Includes
Full assessment of the existing cover and chase top
We inspect the current cover, the flue collar, and the top of the chase for rust-through, pooling, gaps, and any water damage already underway before we recommend a replacement.
Accurate measuring for a custom-fit cover
Chase tops vary in size and the flue can sit off-center. We measure the chase footprint and flue location so the new cover fits your chimney rather than a one-size guess.
Stainless steel cover built for the Florida climate
We use corrosion-resistant stainless steel suited to humidity and salt air, instead of the thin galvanized covers that rust and streak so quickly down here.
Proper slope and overhang
The new cover is formed to slope away from the flue and overhang the chase edges with a drip edge, so rain runs off and away instead of pooling on top or running down the chase walls.
Sealed flue penetration
We seal the opening where the flue pipe passes through the cover with a weather-rated sealant so water can't sneak in around the pipe — a common failure point on old covers.
Removal and cleanup of the old cover
We take down and haul away the rusted cover and any loose debris, and leave the work area clean.
Honest, written estimate before we start
You get an upfront written estimate with no hidden fees, so you know the cost of the cover and the work before anything begins.
Walkthrough of what we found and did
We show you photos of the old condition and the finished cover and explain what was replaced, so you understand the work and what to watch for going forward.
Signs You Need Chase Cover Replacement
- Orange or brown rust streaks running down the sides of the chimney chase from the top
- Visible rust, pitting, or holes in the metal cover when you look up at the chase
- Water stains, dampness, or a musty smell inside the chase or on the ceiling near the chimney
- The cover looks flat and you can see water pooling on top after a Florida rainstorm
- The cover is rattling, lifting, or has come loose at the edges after high winds or a tropical storm
- Peeling paint, bubbling siding, or stained stucco on the upper chase where water has been getting in
- The current cover has no overhang or drip edge, so rain runs straight down the chase walls
- You've had the chase repainted or patched but the rust streaks keep coming back
The chase cover is the flat metal lid that sits on top of a chase-style chimney — the boxed-in structure you'll often see wrapped in siding or stucco. It surrounds the flue pipe and is the first thing standing between Florida's heavy rain and everything inside the chase. When that cover thins out, rusts through, or sits flat instead of sloped, water finds its way in.
In Florida the usual culprit is the climate, not age alone. Daily heat-and-rain cycles, coastal salt air, and the standing water left behind after a tropical storm all attack thin or bare metal covers. A flat cover that lets rain pool will corrode and stain long before a properly sloped stainless cover does.
Replacing the chase cover is a targeted fix: we measure your chase, build or fit a new cover with the right overhang and slope, and seal the flue penetration so the top of your chase is watertight again. Below is exactly what that involves and the warning signs that it's time.
