What goes into a new chase top in Kingswood Manor
Sheet thickness and why it matters
Thin sheet metal flexes under its own weight, under debris and under a worker's hand, and a sheet that flexes eventually dishes and holds water. Fireplace manuals set a minimum thickness for field-built chase tops, and heavier sheet holds creases and pitch better on a wide chase. The estimate names the gauge we plan to use so you can compare it with another proposal, since two covers can look alike from the yard and differ a great deal in stiffness.
Coordinating with a roofer
The chase cover and the roof meet only at the base of the chase, where flashing ties the enclosure into the roof. During a reroof, that base flashing is usually redone by the roofer, while the cover at the top is a separate component. Scheduling the cover just before or right after the roof work avoids extra foot traffic on new shingles. We coordinate timing with your roofer and keep each contractor's scope in writing. If the roofer is already scheduled, tell us the dates so the cover can be measured before the old roof comes 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.
Product warranties and our workmanship warranty
Metal suppliers and cap manufacturers may offer their own product warranties, and they set those terms. Our workmanship warranty covers how the cover was measured, ordered and installed. The installation record lists the parts used, so you have what you need if a product question ever comes up with a supplier. Keep that record with the fireplace manual, since a supplier may ask for the model of the chimney system as well as the cover details. If a supplier warranty applies, we tell you what it covers and what it does not, as far as the supplier states it.
