Building a chase cover that sheds water
The chimney listing decides the top details
Under the Florida Building Code, a factory-built chimney must be installed and terminated as its manufacturer's instructions say. That rule reaches the chase top, because the pipe, the collar parts, the storm collar and the cap all belong to the chimney system.
The cover itself is often made to measure, but it has to respect the chimney instructions where the pipe passes through. We read those instructions, or the maker's current version, before specifying the cover. If the chimney cannot be identified, we tell you and explain how we would proceed safely.
A cover on a stucco-finished chase
If your chase is finished in stucco, the top edge of the stucco often takes the first water from a failing cover. Cracks, dark patches and hollow sounds near the top can be signs that water has been getting behind the finish.
Stucco repair is not part of a cover replacement, but it matters to the result. We look at the top of the stucco when the old cover comes off and tell you what we see. The new cover is then fastened so its skirt protects the stucco edge, and any stucco repair is quoted on its own line.
Paint on an old cover is a stopgap
Paint can slow surface corrosion on a galvanized cover that is otherwise sound. It does not close holes, lift a sagging middle or stop water pooling around the pipe. Painting over corrosion without cleaning it first mostly hides the problem for a while.
We tell you honestly whether painting your current cover is worth the cost. If the metal is thin, holed or dished, the money is better spent on a replacement shaped to shed water. If paint is reasonable, we explain the preparation it needs to last.
What the inspection can and cannot see
From the roof, we can see the cover, the collar, the storm collar, the cap and the siding near the top. From inside, we see any stains. The framing inside the chase, the sheathing behind the siding and the pipe lower down stay hidden while the cover is on.
We tell you what we saw directly and what we are inferring. If a hidden condition could change the job, we explain how and when it would come to light. The estimate records those limits, so there is no surprise about what was checked and what was not.

Chase cover questions worth asking in Coconut Grove
How can I tell whether my chimney has a chase cover?
If the chimney is a boxed structure finished in siding or stucco with a metal pipe at the top, it has a chase and almost certainly a cover. A brick or block chimney with clay flues has a crown instead. We confirm which during the free inspection.
How does the inspection discount apply to a chase cover?
The window opens at your own free inspection and lasts 72 hours. Anything you approve from the estimate inside it, the cover included, is 10% off, and the written price holds if you decide later.
Should I paint my old chase cover to slow the corrosion?
Paint can slow surface corrosion on a cover that is otherwise sound, but it does not close holes or fix a flat top that holds water. We tell you honestly whether paint is worth it or the cover is past that point.
