Chase top know-how for Bithlo homeowners
Measuring over the finished siding
The size that matters is the outside of the chase at the top, taken over the siding, stucco or trim. Framing dimensions are smaller by the thickness of every layer added later. A cover built to framing size sits inside the finish rather than lapping over it, and water runs into the joint. We measure each side at the top of your Bithlo chase, note where trim boards stand proud and size the skirt to clear the thickest point with room to fasten.
Leaves and needles on the chase top
Trees near the roof drop leaves, needles and seed pods that collect on a chase cover, especially one with little slope. The debris holds moisture against the metal and blocks the path water should take to the edges. A well-shaped cover sheds much of it on its own. If branches overhang the chase, trimming them back reduces both debris and a climbing route for animals, and we point out those limbs during the inspection. Pine needles tend to lodge in the creases of a cover, and a steeper pitch helps them wash off.
A damp odor from the fireplace after rain
A musty or wet-ash smell from the fireplace after a storm can mean water is reaching the unit. Moisture mixes with old ash and soot, and the odor carries into the room. The source may be the chase cover, the termination cap or the joints of the pipe, so we check each in turn, beginning with the top. If cleaning the firebox is part of the fix, it appears as a separate line. The smell often fades within a few dry days once the water path is closed and the firebox is cleaned.
What the free inspection includes
The free inspection covers the chase top from the roof, the visible chase walls, the termination cap and storm collar, and a look at the fireplace from inside for signs of water. We measure for a replacement at the same visit. You receive written findings and a price for each recommended item. The visit is free, and you decide afterwards whether the work goes ahead. If we find nothing wrong with the cover, we tell you so.

Can a rusted chase cover be patched?
