Chase cover decisions for homes in Olympia Heights
Where the pipe sits on the top
The pipe may not sit in the center of the chase. Framing, offsets and the fireplace below all push it one way or another. The hole in the new cover has to match where the pipe really is, not where it would look neat.
We measure the pipe position from two sides of the chase. If the pipe has shifted or leans, we note that, because it may point to a support problem inside the chase. The estimate shows the hole position, and any concern about the pipe is described separately for you to decide on.
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.
A loose cover in wind is a hazard
A chase cover that has lost its fasteners can lift in a strong wind and come off in pieces. A sheet of metal falling from roof height can injure someone or damage a car or window. If the cover is visibly loose, keep people away from the area below.
Do not try to hold it down or pull it off from a ladder. Tell us when you call that the cover is loose and where it would land if it came off. That changes how soon the visit should happen. If a sheet is already hanging, say so clearly.
Planning changes to the fireplace below
If you are thinking of replacing the fireplace, changing how it is used or taking it out of service, mention it before the cover is ordered. A new appliance can bring a new chimney pipe, and a cover made for the old pipe may not suit it.
In that situation, a sensible option is a repair that keeps the chase dry for now, followed by a new cover made once the new chimney is chosen. We can price both paths side by side. You avoid buying a made-to-measure cover that has to be remade months later.

Chase cover questions, answered for Olympia Heights
Will a new chase cover fix rotted wood in the chase?
No. The cover stops new water from entering, but rotted sheathing or framing needs its own repair. We note that damage separately, often once the old cover is off, and you decide on it before the chase is closed.
Why is there a gap between the storm collar and the cover?
Some chimney systems call for air spaces at the chase top so the chase stays ventilated around the pipe. Where the instructions show them, those gaps are part of the design, not a fault, and we keep them when fitting the new cover.
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.
