A made-to-measure chase cover in Roosevelt Gardens
Sloped chase tops on wider chases
On some chases, a cover with a true slope sheds water better than cross-breaks alone. The top is pitched away from the pipe, sometimes in one direction and sometimes in several. That can suit wide chases or chases with more than one pipe.
A sloped cover takes more measuring and fabrication, and the collar has to stay square to the pipe even though the sheet is not level. We explain when slope is worth it for your chase and when cross-breaks will do the job. The choice appears on the estimate with a short reason.
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.
Hose testing a chase top leak
Sometimes the source of a chase leak is not obvious from looking. Where the job calls for it, we run a hose water test. Water is run over one part of the chase top at a time while someone watches inside for it to appear.
We use a hose water test only when the job calls for it, not as a routine step. We explain why it is needed, what it involves and whether it is included in the estimate. The result can show which part lets water in, so the repair addresses that part and not a guess.
Tall chases and wind at the top
A chase that rises well above the roof catches more wind than a short one. Its cover takes stronger gusts, and loose edges or weak fasteners show up sooner. Tall chases can also sway slightly if the framing is not braced as it should be.
If your chase is tall, mention it when you call. We look closely at the fastening, the skirt and the framing at the top. Where the cover needs more fasteners than the old one had, or the framing needs attention, the estimate says so and explains why.

What people ask about chase covers
Do you make chase covers to measure?
Yes. Chases vary in size and pipe position, so most covers are made to the measurements we take on the roof. That can mean one visit to measure and another to fit, and we explain the sequence at the start.
How does the inspection discount apply to a chase cover?
The window opens at your own free inspection and lasts 72 hours. Anything you approve from the estimate inside it, the cover included, is 10% off, and the written price holds if you decide later.
Will a new cover stop the stains on my siding?
It should stop new rust from running down, if the old cover was the source. Existing stains stay until they are cleaned or weather away. We tell you whether the stains came from the cover or from another metal part.
