Chase cover details for Keene's Pointe homes
Covers with no drip edge
A skirt that ends in a straight cut lets water cling to its edge and run back against the siding. Over time that shows up as streaking, softened trim and eventually water behind the finish. A drip edge that kicks out at the bottom breaks that path. If your current cover lacks one, the replacement will have it, and we note any siding damage the old design has caused on your Keene's Pointe chase. On stucco, the drip edge also keeps water from soaking the top band of the finish below the cover.
A chase cover still matters if you never burn
Many homes have a factory-built fireplace that has not been lit in years, while its chase top keeps sitting in the weather. A failing cover lets water reach the framing, the insulation and the unit itself whether the fireplace is used or not. Replacing the cover protects the house structure even if you never plan to light a fire, and it keeps the option of using the fireplace open for later. If you plan to remove the fireplace one day, the chase still needs a sound top until that work is done.
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.
Sealing washers and exposed fasteners
Where a manual allows fasteners exposed to the weather, each one needs a sealing washer that compresses under the head and closes the hole around the shank. Washers of the wrong material crack in the sun, and overtightened ones split. We set exposed fasteners with washers suited to the metal and check each one before leaving, because a single weeping screw can stain the siding below it. Where the manual calls for fasteners only through the skirt, none go through the top at all.

Chase cover questions from Keene's Pointe
What is the difference between a chase cover and a chimney cap?
The chase cover is the broad metal lid over the framed enclosure. The cap is the smaller hooded part on the chimney pipe. Either can rust, and we identify which one needs work before quoting.
Which metal should a chase cover be made from?
Galvanized steel costs less, stainless steel resists rust longer, and copper is chosen mainly for its looks. We explain each option for your home and match the fasteners to the metal you pick.
