Our chase cover process for homes in Galt Ocean Mile
Ceiling marks near a factory-built fireplace
A brown ring on the ceiling near a factory-built fireplace can be the first sign of a chase top leak. It may grow after heavy rain and then dry out, leaving a larger ring each time.
Note when the stain appears and whether it follows rain with wind from one side. That timing helps us narrow the source. We look at the chase cover, the storm collar and the flashing at the roof. Drywall repair inside is not part of our work, but we tell you when the source has been stopped so it can be repaired.
Workmanship warranty and the maker's terms
Our workmanship warranty covers how the chase top was installed: the fit of the cover, its fastening and the seals at the pipe. Before you approve anything, we explain what it covers.
Parts that belong to the chimney system, like a replacement storm collar or cap, may carry their maker's own terms. We hand those on with the record of the job. If something looks wrong later, describe it to us. We then work out whether it comes from the installation, a part or something new, such as storm damage.
Leaves collecting on a flat cover
A flat cover under overhanging trees can hold a mat of leaves and seed pods. The mat stays damp long after rain, and the metal underneath can corrode faster than the rest of the sheet. It can also block the drip edge and push water back toward the walls.
A cover with cross-breaks or a slope sheds leaves more readily than a flat one. We clear what is there during the visit and look at the metal beneath it. If trees overhang the chase, a maintenance visit that includes the chase top is worth considering.
Folded corners and where they leak
The corners of a chase cover are where the skirt folds meet. On a folded or poorly joined corner, a small gap can let water run inside the skirt and down the corner of the chase. Corners are also where corrosion often starts on older covers.
We look closely at the corners of the old cover and at the siding below them. On the new cover, the estimate says how the corners are formed and sealed. That small detail decides whether water runs off the corner or into it.

Common questions about chimney chase covers
Can a corroded cover be patched rather than replaced?
Small repairs can buy time on a cover that is otherwise sound. A cover with holes, a dished middle or thin metal throughout usually needs replacing, because patches over corrosion tend to trap water. We show you the condition before you choose.
What will the written record show after the job?
The cover's metal and gauge, its shape, how it was fastened and sealed, what happened to the storm collar and cap, and anything we saw but did not repair. Keep it with your other house papers.
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.
