The chase cover job, from measure to seal
Sizing the hole to the listed pipe
The hole in a chase cover is not simply the pipe diameter. The chimney maker's instructions call for a clearance around the pipe, and cover makers note that their dimensions include clearances for the holes. Cutting the hole tight to the pipe can break those rules.
We identify the chimney pipe and its instructions before specifying the hole. The estimate records the hole size and position we measured. That way the cover arrives with the right clearance built in, rather than being cut on the roof to whatever seems to fit.
Measuring the chase top properly
A chase cover is measured on the roof, with a tape and a sketch of the top. We record the outside size of the chase, where each pipe sits and how large it is. The skirt depth goes down too, along with anything that breaks the rectangle, such as trim or a step in the wall.
Cover makers publish worksheets for exactly these measurements, and they warn that the dimensions must include clearances. A measurement guessed from the ground or copied from the old cover can carry old mistakes forward. The estimate lists our measurements so you can see what the new cover is built to.
A cover made for two chimney pipes
Some chases carry two pipes, such as a fireplace chimney and a vent for another appliance. A cover for that chase needs two holes, each with its own collar and each placed exactly where its pipe stands. Cover makers build double-hole and multi-hole covers for this.
Each pipe keeps the clearances and termination its own instructions call for. We identify both pipes and what they serve before ordering. If one of them belongs to an appliance we do not work on, we say so, and the cover is still made to fit around it correctly.
Old metal, screws and sealant hauled away
A chase cover job leaves an old sheet of metal, screws, old sealant and sometimes pieces of trim or siding. We gather it all up, clear the roof around the chase and haul the debris away instead of leaving it by your bin.
We also look inside at the fireplace and hearth, because some debris can fall down the chase during removal. If anything reached the room, it is cleaned up. Tell us before the visit about anything fragile near the fireplace, and we protect it before starting.

Common questions about chimney chase covers
Is the chase cover part of the chimney's listed system?
The cover itself is often made to measure, but the parts where the pipe passes through it are usually specified by the chimney maker. We follow the chimney instructions for the collar, the storm collar and the air spaces.
Is a same-day chase cover fitting available?
Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, but most covers are made after measuring. We tell you at the inspection whether a same-day fitting is realistic for your chase and how the top is protected meanwhile.
Who handles a leak that comes through the chase siding?
If water enters through the siding or stucco rather than the top, that is chase repair rather than cover replacement. We trace the water path and tell you which part lets it in, so the estimate addresses the actual entry point.
