The chase cover and the chimney cap are separate parts
A framed chase is the box, usually sided like the rest of the house, that encloses the metal chimney pipe of a factory-built fireplace. Sheet metal closes the top of that box, and that piece is the chase cover. The chimney pipe passes up through an opening in the cover, and a listed termination cap sits on the end of the pipe.
Because the parts are separate, each one can fail on its own. A cover can rust through under a sound cap, and a cap can be damaged on a sound cover. We identify which part is letting water in before recommending replacement, so you pay for the repair the chimney actually needs.
Checking the framing once the old cover is off
A cover that has leaked for a while may have soaked the top plates, sheathing or trim of the chase. Some of that damage is visible only when the old cover is lifted, and a new cover fastened to soft wood will not stay tight.
We explain before starting that the framing will be checked once the top is open. If rot turns up, we stop, show you what we found and price the repair separately. Framing and siding repair is chase repair work, and you decide on it before the new cover goes on.
Keeping records of the chase cover work
Keep the estimate and the completion summary for the chase cover with the fireplace manual if you have it. The metal, the collar arrangement and the date of replacement help anyone who works on the chimney later, and they answer questions that come up when the home is sold.
If the fireplace label or manual is missing, keep the model details we record during the visit. Having the chimney system identified makes the next repair simpler and helps avoid mismatched parts on the pipe or cap.
Chase covers over a gas fireplace vent
Some chases enclose the vent pipe of a gas fireplace instead of, or alongside, a wood-burning chimney. That vent has its own listed termination and its own manufacturer's instructions, and the opening and collar in the cover have to suit it.
We identify each pipe that passes through the cover before a replacement is ordered. The cover is then made to fit around every vent and chimney in the chase without changing how any of them terminates.
On any service we offer
The free chase inspection starts 72 hours in which the cover is 10% off.
