Overview
Why chase covers fail
Many original chase covers are thin, flat metal. Water pools on top, the metal rusts through, and water gets into the chase and down to the fireplace. Rust stains running down the siding are a common first sign.
We replace failing covers with durable, properly sloped covers sized to your chase, with the flue collar and storm collar sealed so water runs off instead of in.
Signs your chase cover needs replacement
- Rust streaks running down the siding
- Standing water or a sagging center on the cover
- Water inside the fireplace or around the chase
- Visible holes or corrosion on the cover
