Chimney Cap & Chase Cover in Leon Valley, TX

Caps And Chase Covers For Heavy Rain Finds Every Weak Point In Leon Valley

Caps and covers in Leon Valley have to suit low-slope roofs that hold water instead of shedding it quickly. The single most common call we get here involves leaks that only show up in a hard rain, traced back to washed-out mortar and flat crowns, 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 the flash flooding and heavy downpours Leon Valley is known for.

Factory chase covers on Leon Valley 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 Bexar County chimneys every spring, and the nest material blocks the flue and pushes smoke back inside.

Most Leon Valley cap and cover jobs are measured on the first visit and fitted on the second, once the stainless is fabricated to suit low-slope roofs that hold water instead of shedding it quickly.
