Building a chase cover that sheds water
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.
When corrosion has opened holes
A hole in a chase cover, however small, lets water straight into the framed box below. It often starts where water sits, around the collar or in a sagging middle.
Holes are hard to see from the ground but easy to find on the roof. We look for pinholes, thin spots that flex under light pressure and rust staining on the underside where we can see it. A cover with holes through it is normally replaced rather than patched, and we show you why on the day.
How the inspection discount applies to a chase cover
The offer ties to your own inspection date. Any service you give the go-ahead for inside 72 hours of your free inspection is 10% off. That can be the cover alone or the cover with other items from the same estimate.
There is no clock running on the page and no one waiting at the door for an answer. Take the time you need. If you decide after the window, the estimate holds at its written figure, and the work is carried out the same way.
Seams and corners in coastal exposure
Salt collects where water lingers, and on a chase cover that means the seams, the corners and the base of the collar. An open or poorly sealed seam holds salty moisture against the metal long after the rest of the cover has dried.
For a chase near the coast, we pay particular attention to how the new cover's seams are made. Welded or well-sealed seams leave fewer places for salt to sit. The estimate states the seam construction, and we explain why it matters more in that exposure than it might inland.

Common questions about chimney chase covers
Which metal should a replacement chase cover be made from?
Galvanized, stainless and copper covers are all made. The choice depends on the chimney, the metals nearby, the look you want and the budget. We name the metal and its gauge on the estimate and explain why we suggest it.
Is the fireplace safe to use while the chase leaks?
Water in a chase can reach the chimney pipe and the fireplace below it. If you see water inside or fresh corrosion in the firebox, stop using the fireplace and have the chase top and chimney checked before the next fire.
Does a chase cover need upkeep once it is fitted?
Occasional checks help. On a maintenance visit, we look at the fasteners, the sealant at the collar, the storm collar and any sign of standing water. Small fixes found early are easier than a new cover later.
