A raised collar around each pipe opening
Where the chimney pipe passes through the cover, a raised collar keeps water on the cover from running down the opening. One manufacturer specifies a collar two inches tall, soldered, welded or spun so it has no open seam. A flat hole with a bead of sealant around it is not the same detail.
We check the height and condition of the existing collar before quoting. A replacement cover is ordered with each collar located over its pipe, because a collar that sits off center crowds the pipe on one side and leaves a wide gap on the other.
Sealing the storm collar the right way
A storm collar is the metal band that wraps the chimney pipe just above the collar on the cover. It sheds rain away from the gap around the pipe. The installation instructions for one common system call for caulking the gaps between the storm collar and the pipe, and between the storm collar and the chase top collar.
The same instructions warn against blocking the air holes at the termination. We seat the storm collar snugly, seal only where the instructions say to and leave every vent opening clear. A storm collar that has slipped or lost its seal is a simple source of leaks and one of the first things we check.
When the leak happens is a useful clue
It helps to notice when water appears. A leak after any rain can point to holes or open seams in the cover, while one that appears only when wind drives rain sideways can point to the skirt, the siding joint or the flashing. Water that shows up days after a storm may have soaked into framing and be working down slowly.
Mention what you have noticed when you call. We use it alongside the inspection to find the actual source, rather than assuming the chase cover is at fault because it is the part people hear about most.
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.
