Chase cover details that decide the result
Cover, collar and storm collar work as a set
A chase top is really three parts working together. The cover spans the box. A raised collar around the hole lifts the opening above any water on the cover. A storm collar clamped to the pipe sits over that raised collar and sheds rain away from the joint.
If one part fails, the other two cannot make up for it. A new cover with an old, loose storm collar can still leak at the pipe. We check all three during the free inspection and tell you which ones need replacing, so the estimate covers the whole joint rather than one piece of it.
Family owned and plain about the chase findings
We are a family-owned and locally owned business. On a chase job, the team on your roof explains what it found in plain words, on the day and in writing. That happens before any work is approved.
Trade terms are fine among roofers, but the estimate is for you. If a phrase like chase top flashing or storm collar is new, ask what it means and why it matters on your chimney. A clear answer, and an updated estimate if needed, should come before you commit.
Leave the chase top to us
Please do not climb onto the roof to look at the chase cover, measure it or refasten it. Chase tops are often reached across steep roof sections, and a loose cover can shift under a hand or foot. Sharp edges on corroded metal cut easily.
A description from the yard is enough for us to plan with. We arrive with ladders, a tape and the means to protect the roof, and the chase gets measured and checked in the same trip. Staying off also keeps foot traffic away from roof areas that may already be tired.
An unused fireplace still needs a sound chase top
A fireplace that sits unlit still has a chase above it that takes every storm. Water that gets past a failing cover damages the framing and the chimney pipe whether or not the fireplace is in use. Idle chases are often the last to be checked.
If you do not use the fireplace, the chase top still deserves a look from time to time. We check the cover, collar and storm collar and tell you what we find. If you plan to use the fireplace again someday, mention it, so the chimney is kept in a state that allows that.

Chase cover questions, answered for Key Biscayne
Is the fireplace safe to use while the chase leaks?
Water in a chase can reach the chimney pipe and the fireplace below it. If you see water inside or fresh corrosion in the firebox, stop using the fireplace and have the chase top and chimney checked before the next fire.
Can one cover handle two pipes coming through the chase?
Yes. Covers can be made with two or more holes, each with its own collar. Each pipe keeps the termination its own instructions call for, so we identify what each pipe serves before the cover is ordered.
Will a new cover stop the stains on my siding?
It should stop new rust from running down, if the old cover was the source. Existing stains stay until they are cleaned or weather away. We tell you whether the stains came from the cover or from another metal part.
