Our approach to chase covers in Camellia Gardens
Rust and water marks inside the fireplace
On many prefabricated fireplaces, rain that gets past the chase top ends up inside the unit. Rust flakes on the firebox floor, water marks on the refractory panels or a damp smell after storms are clues worth mentioning when you call. None of them proves the cover is at fault, since a damaged cap or pipe joint can do the same. The inspection starts at the top, and our written findings tie each symptom to the part we believe is responsible.
Rust on the chimney pipe itself
The outer casing of a factory-built chimney pipe is meant to stay dry inside the chase. When rain has been getting past the cover, the top section of pipe can show surface rust or staining. Light surface marks may only need watching. Perforation or other damage to the pipe is a different matter, because the pipe is a listed component and replacement sections must be the ones approved for that chimney. We describe what we see and what it means for your system.
Dents from falling limbs
A branch that lands on a chase top can dent the sheet, flatten the collar or knock the storm collar out of place. Even a small dent can reverse the slope and create a low spot. After a limb strike, look from the ground for bent edges or a tilted cap, then call for an inspection. We check whether the pipe and cap were affected too, since an impact strong enough to dent the cover may have shifted them.
Chases that sit near a gutter or valley
A chase built at an eave or beside a roof valley has extra water running past its base, and splashback can wet the lower siding. The cover at the top is unaffected by that runoff, but the enclosure as a whole is. While inspecting the chase top, we also note where roof water flows around the chase, so any recommendation for diverting it or for flashing work is written up apart from the cover. Water that splashes back onto the lower siding can look like a chase cover leak, which is why we check both ends.

Asked in Camellia Gardens about chase cover replacement
What if the wood under my Camellia Gardens chase cover is rotten?
We stop, show you what we found and write up the framing repair as a separate item. Nothing is added to your bill until you approve 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.
