Getting the chase top right in Baldwin Park
Water testing the finished cover
Where the roof gives safe footing, we run water over the new cover after installation and watch where it goes. Water should leave every edge and drip clear of the siding, with nothing pooling near the collar. This check confirms the slope and skirt are doing their job before we pack up. If anything looks wrong, it is corrected on the same visit, while the tools and materials are still on your Baldwin Park roof. We also look at the siding below the chase once the water runs, since that is where a poor drip edge shows first.
Wet insulation inside the chase
Some chases are insulated on their inside walls, and insulation soaked through a failed top stays damp for a long time. Wet insulation loses much of its value and holds moisture against the framing. If we see wet or matted insulation from the top, we note it. Whether it needs removal depends on how far it extends, which may mean opening the chase from the side, a separate job priced for your approval. Insulation that was wet only once and has dried may be fine, which is one reason we describe what we see before recommending removal.
Sizing the collar hole to the pipe
The hole in the cover must suit the outside diameter of the chimney pipe where it passes through. Too large, and the storm collar cannot cover the gap. Too tight, and the pipe loses the small clearance the manuals call for. We measure the pipe itself before ordering, since pipe from different chimney series differs in size even when the fireplaces look alike. The collar is then formed to that diameter with the small gap the manual for your system describes.
When the pipe sits off center in the chase
Few chimney pipes rise exactly through the middle of the chase. Framing, offsets and elbows in the pipe route shift the termination toward one side or corner. The new collar goes where the pipe actually is, measured from two sides of the chase. We also shape the slope so water drains away from an off-center pipe on the short side as well as the long side. On a narrow chase, that can mean a pitched top rather than simple cross-breaks.

How does the 72-hour discount work?
Book any service within 72 hours after your free inspection and 10% comes off. We write the discount into your estimate, so the price you approve already includes it.
Why is my new cover sloped instead of flat?
A flat sheet sags and holds rain, which wears the metal out from the middle. Creases or a pitch send water to the edges, and the fireplace manuals we follow call for the top to slope away from the pipe.
