Chimney Chase Cover Installation in Miami
On a prefabricated (factory-built) chimney, the chase cover is the metal top that seals the chase and sheds water. A rusted, warped or poorly fitted cover lets water in — and replacing it correctly, with proper slope and drainage, protects everything below.
What we examine
- The existing chase cover for rust, holes and standing water
- Fit and slope for drainage
- The collar around the flue penetration
- The chase top and any water damage
A chase cover is not a chimney cap
The chase cover seals the whole top of a prefab chase; the cap sits over the flue itself. They solve different problems, and a leak at the chase top needs the cover addressed, not just a new cap.
Fit, slope and material
A correct cover has enough slope to drain, a proper collar around the flue, and material chosen for the environment. In coastal areas, corrosion resistance is a major factor in how long it lasts.
What affects the estimate
We don't publish one-size prices, because honest pricing depends on what we find. Factors include:
- Chase dimensions and flue penetration
- Material and corrosion resistance
- Access and roof height
After we inspect and explain the findings, you get a clear written estimate — no surprise line items.
How to prepare
- Note rust stains or standing water on the chase top
- Confirm it's a prefab/factory-built chimney
- Allow roof access if possible
