Chimney Cap & Chase Cover in New Braunfels, TX

Caps And Chase Covers For Historic Brick And New Construction In New Braunfels

Caps and covers in New Braunfels have to suit low-slope composition roofs and prefab metal chases on the newer side of town. The single most common call we get here involves old lime mortar joints washing out while new-build chase covers rust from underneath, 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 Guadalupe River humidity that keeps masonry damp long after the rain stops.

Factory chase covers on New Braunfels 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 New Braunfels cap and cover jobs are measured on the first visit and fitted on the second, once the stainless is fabricated to suit low-slope composition roofs and prefab metal chases on the newer side of town.
