Getting the chase top right in Eagles Nest
Looking at the top firestop while it is exposed
Firestops are the metal plates that close the opening around the pipe where it passes a ceiling or floor level, and they keep debris from dropping down the chase. Water that has entered through a failed cover often runs down the pipe and stains or rusts the upper firestop first. We check what is visible from the top of your Eagles Nest chase and tell you whether moisture has reached it, so the repair plan covers the water path as well as the metal lid.
Tracing rust streaks on the chase siding
Orange streaks on the siding below the top are the sign owners tend to spot first. They usually start at the edge of a rusting cover, but screws, the storm collar and a rusting cap leave similar marks. We trace each streak to its starting point before recommending work. If the cover is the source, replacement stops new staining. Old streaks may need cleaning or paint, which we list apart from the metal work so the scope stays clear.
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.
A pipe that leans out of plumb
Sometimes the pipe above the cover leans, pulling the collar and storm collar out of line and opening a gap on one side. The cause may be a loose support, a damaged section or an old impact. We note the lean and check what can be seen of the supports from the top. Straightening or supporting the pipe is chimney system work that must follow the manufacturer's instructions, so it is described and priced separately. A leaning pipe can also rub against the new collar, so the lean is addressed before or with the cover work.
