The cap on the pipe stays listed
The hooded termination on a factory-built chimney pipe was tested with the fireplace as one system, and the fireplace manual names it by model. Swapping the chase cover underneath does not change that. If the listed cap on your Bryceville chimney is in good order, it comes off, the new cover goes on, and the same cap is refitted.
A cracked or rusted one is swapped for the part that manual lists, ordered by model number, rather than a generic cap from a supply shelf. You are told which of those two cases applies, and given the part number when a new cap is needed. Have the fireplace model handy when you call (904) 920-5495 from Bryceville; the manual sets the cover.
Bryceville is about 22 miles from Jacksonville in a straight line. Bryceville sits in Nassau County.

How It Works
From tape measure to hose test in Bryceville
-
Chase and pipe measured
On the free visit we measure the outside of the chase over the siding and read the fireplace model from its plate or manual.
-
A top made to your chase
The cover is formed with cross-breaks or a pitch, a skirt with a drip edge and a raised collar sized to your pipe.
-
Old top off, new top fastened
We pull the old cover and check the framing, then fasten the new top through its skirt and clamp a sealed storm collar at the pipe.
-
Hose test before we leave
Water run over the new top has to leave from every edge. If it puddles anywhere, we reshape it before the job is done.
Where We Work
Checking Bryceville chase tops after a storm
After a strong storm passes Bryceville, a quick look from the ground at the chase top is worth doing. A raised edge, a bent collar or a new streak on the siding are the signs to call about.
We check the top, the storm collar and the cap together, and tell you in writing whether the cover can be refastened or needs replacing.

Skirt depth and the drip that clears the wall
The skirt is the part of the cover that turns down over the sides of the chase. It needs enough depth to cover the joint between the top of the siding and the framing, and enough to take fasteners below that joint.
At its bottom edge it ends in a drip: a small outward kick that throws water clear of the wall instead of letting it run back underneath. Fireplace manuals call for a turndown and drip edge on the chase top for exactly that reason. A skirt that stops short, or ends flush against the siding, leaves the top of the wall to take the water.
Tracing a rust streak to its source
A rust streak on siding points up to its source, but more than one metal part sits at the top of a chase. The cover itself, the storm collar, the termination cap and the fasteners can each rust and streak. The pattern helps: a wide stain starting all along the skirt edge points to the cover, while a narrow streak under one spot may come from a single fastener or from the cap above. We look at each part from the roof and name the source, so a new cover is not sold to fix a rusting cap, and a new cap is not sold to fix a rusting cover.
Keeping feet and ladders off the chase top
Think of a chase top as a roof over a box, never a place to stand. Sheet metal that is walked on, knelt on or used as a ladder rest dents, and every dent becomes a small basin that holds water after the next rain. Anyone servicing the chimney should work from the roof beside the chase or from a ladder against the chase framing, with padding under the ladder feet where they touch the siding.
If other trades work on your roof, such as a roofer or a satellite installer, it is worth asking them to stay off the chase top as well. A dent found later is noted at the next visit.

FAQ
Chase cover questions from Bryceville
Do you replace chase covers in Bryceville?
We do. Tell us what you see on the chase top, such as rust, a puddle or a lifted edge, and we measure your Bryceville chase on the first visit.
Why not just seal around the pipe?
Filling that ring ties a hot pipe to the sheet metal, and the manuals leave it open for that reason. Rain is kept out by the storm collar above the ring, which is sealed to the pipe itself.
