What rust streaks on the siding tell you
Rust-colored streaks that start at the top of the chase and run down the siding come from corroding metal above. They usually point to the cover, though rusting fasteners and a tired storm collar can leave marks too. Once rust is washing off the metal, the cover is losing material every time it rains.
Replacing the cover stops new streaks. The existing stains are a separate question, and some siding cleans up better than others. We tell you what to expect before the work starts rather than promising a spotless wall.
How far the chimney rises above the roof
Manufacturers also set how far the chimney must extend above the roof. The manual for one common system puts the bottom of the termination cap no less than three feet over the roof, and no less than two feet over any roof surface within ten feet. Other systems carry their own figures.
A new chase cover does not change the height of the pipe, but the visit is a good time to check it. If the termination looks short against its instructions, we explain what we see and what correcting it would involve before any cover is ordered.
Coordinating chase cover work with roofers and siding crews
If a new roof or new siding is planned, the chase cover belongs in the same sequence. The flashing where the chase meets the roof, the siding on the chase and the cover all overlap, and the order of work affects how each junction is finished.
Let us know which other trades are booked at the house, and on what dates. We can replace the cover before the roofers arrive, work alongside them or follow them, and the estimate states which trade is responsible for each junction. That avoids gaps nobody owns.
What to have ready for the chase inspection
A few details make the free inspection more useful. If you have the fireplace manual or know its make and model, keep it handy. Note where and when you have seen water or stains, and whether the chase cover has been patched or replaced before.
Let us know about pets, gates and where a ladder can be set safely. None of this is required, since we can identify the system on site, but it helps the visit move quickly.
