How a new chase cover keeps Aloma chases dry
If more damage appears after removal
Some damage stays hidden until the old cover comes off, so we explain before work starts how that situation is handled. If we find wet or rotted wood, we stop, show you the finding and write up the added repair for your approval before continuing. Nothing is added to the bill without your agreement. That process keeps the approved scope honest when the top of your Aloma chase turns out worse than it looked from the roof. You can also decide in advance how much added repair we may proceed with before stopping to ask again.
What decides how long a new cover lasts
No honest contractor can promise a fixed lifespan for a chase cover. Metal choice, thickness, shape, fastener compatibility, overhanging trees and how often the top gets checked all play a part. A well-shaped stainless cover with matching fasteners generally holds up better than a flat galvanized sheet, and even a good cover benefits from an occasional look. We leave care notes with the installation record, including what to look for from the ground after a strong storm. A cover that has lasted many years can still fail quickly once the zinc or sealant gives out, so age alone proves little.
Why the old cover is never used as a pattern
Tracing the old cover looks like a shortcut, yet a rusted, dented cover has usually moved from its original shape. Its collar may be off center, and it may have been undersized from the start. We measure the chase and the pipe position directly. The old cover is useful only as a record of what failed, such as where water pooled or which seam opened first. Those clues tell us where the new top needs more slope or a stronger seam.
A level bearing surface for the new cover
A new cover needs a flat, level surface at the top of the chase to seat on. If the top plates have sagged or twisted, the cover rocks, and its slope ends up off. We check the top for level once the old cover is removed. Minor unevenness can be shimmed with suitable material, while a sagging top that needs reframing is chase repair and is priced on its own. A level top also keeps the drip edge at an even height all the way around, which is how it sheds water cleanly.

Your Aloma chase cover questions, answered
Can a rusted chase cover be patched?
A small, isolated defect can sometimes be repaired. A cover rusted through in several places keeps failing around each patch, so we explain which option fits your cover after seeing it.
Do I need to be home for the work in Aloma?
For the inspection, someone should let us look at the fireplace inside. Installation happens on the roof, so it can often be done while you are out, as long as access is arranged.
