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.
Metal thickness and a cover that keeps its shape
Thin sheet metal flexes across a wide chase and can dish between its edges. The manual we follow for one fireplace series gives a minimum of 26-gauge galvanized steel for its chase top. That figure is a floor for that system, not a recommendation for every chase.
On larger chases a heavier sheet or formed breaks help the cover hold its pitch. We match the metal and thickness to the size of the chase and explain the choice on your estimate. A cover that keeps its shape keeps draining, which is the main thing it has to do.
Tracing water from the top of the chase down
Water that reaches the room around a factory-built fireplace can come from several places. The cap, the storm collar, the cover and its seams, the siding joint and the roof flashing where the chase meets the roof can each let water in. Replacing the cover without checking the others can leave the leak in place.
We work from the top down, look at each junction in order and name the one that is failing. If the flashing or siding is the problem, the estimate says so, and the cover stays unless it has defects of its own. You pay for the repair that stops the water.
What happens on chase cover replacement day
On installation day, our team protects the roof around the chase, removes the old cover and clears old sealant and fasteners. The top of the chase is checked, the new cover is set and fastened through its skirt, and the storm collar and cap go back on.
Before leaving, we check the pitch, the fit on every side and the seal at the storm collar, and haul the old cover away. You get a plain summary of what was done, and if anything unexpected turned up while the top was open, you hear about it before any extra work.
On any service we offer
Once the chase is measured, you have 72 hours to order the cover at 10% off.
