Measuring and fitting a chase cover in Tamiami
A cover made for two chimney pipes
Some chases carry two pipes, such as a fireplace chimney and a vent for another appliance. A cover for that chase needs two holes, each with its own collar and each placed exactly where its pipe stands. Cover makers build double-hole and multi-hole covers for this.
Each pipe keeps the clearances and termination its own instructions call for. We identify both pipes and what they serve before ordering. If one of them belongs to an appliance we do not work on, we say so, and the cover is still made to fit around it correctly.
A written record of the chase work
Once the chase top is finished, the job is written down for you. The note gives the cover's metal, gauge and shape, the fasteners and sealant used, and what happened to the storm collar and the cap. Items we saw but were not asked to repair are listed too.
File it with the house documents. A roofer, a buyer's inspector or our own team on a later visit can read exactly what was done. Even a free inspection that did not lead to work leaves you a free written estimate and its findings for your home in Tamiami.
Chases against a wall and chases through the roof
Some chases stand against an outside wall and run up past the eaves. Others rise from the roof itself. The cover work is similar, but the water paths differ. A wall chase can take water at its side joints and at the roof edge, while a roof chase depends heavily on the flashing at its base.
We look at how your chase is built and where it meets the house or roof. That tells us where else water could enter if the cover is one of several problems. The estimate names the cover work and any other entry points we found, each as its own item.
Oval or square holes for some pipes
Not every pipe through a chase is round. Some vents are oval, square or rectangular, and some chases carry an oval pipe beside a round one. Cover makers build holes to those shapes when asked.
We measure each pipe's shape and position and note which appliance it serves. A hole cut round for an oval pipe leaves gaps that no sealant will close for long. The estimate lists each hole with its shape, so the cover arrives ready to fit every pipe that passes through.

What people ask about chase covers
Can the existing cap stay on the chimney pipe?
It can, if it is sound and is the cap listed for that chimney. We check it while we are up there. A damaged cap, or one that does not belong to the system, is noted as a separate item for you to decide on.
Why is there a gap between the storm collar and the cover?
Some chimney systems call for air spaces at the chase top so the chase stays ventilated around the pipe. Where the instructions show them, those gaps are part of the design, not a fault, and we keep them when fitting the new cover.
Does your warranty cover the new chase cover?
Our workmanship warranty covers the installation work we carry out, and we explain what it covers before you approve. A listed chimney part may also carry its maker's terms, and we pass those on with the written record.
