Caps And Chase Covers For Exposed Ridge-Top Chimneys In Bulverde

Caps and covers in Bulverde have to suit wide roofs on exposed lots with nothing upwind to break the weather. The single most common call we get here involves sun-baked crowns cracking open and letting water run down inside the stack, and a stock cap off a shelf rarely fits properly. We measure the flue or chase on site and fit stainless that sheds water instead of holding it — the difference matters when full exposure on ridge tops, where wind and sun beat on the masonry year-round.

Factory chase covers on Bulverde homes are usually thin galvanized metal. They rust from the inside within ten to fifteen years, pond water in the middle and stain rust streaks down the siding — a sign we look for from the driveway.

Open flues are also an invitation. Birds, squirrels and raccoons nest in uncapped Comal County chimneys every spring, and the nest material blocks the flue and pushes smoke back inside.

Most Bulverde cap and cover jobs are measured on the first visit and fitted on the second, once the stainless is fabricated to suit wide roofs on exposed lots with nothing upwind to break the weather.
