What goes into a new chase top in Lake Avalon
Why a flat chase top holds rain
A chase cover cut as a flat sheet looks tidy on installation day. Once it flexes, the middle sinks a little and rain collects there instead of running off. Metal that stays wet under a puddle corrodes sooner than metal that dries between storms, and the pinholes tend to open right where the water sat. A replacement top needs shape, creased or pitched, so water leaves every edge and nothing lingers around the pipe collar. On your Lake Avalon roof, a flat top also collects leaves and grit in that same low spot, which keeps the metal damp even longer.
Why a stock size seldom fits
Chases are framed to suit each house, and their sizes vary widely. A stock cover that is nearly right leaves a gap or an overhang somewhere, and its collar may not line up with the pipe. Our replacements are fabricated to measurements taken on your roof, with the collar placed at the pipe's measured center. Custom fabrication means a short wait between measuring and installation, which we explain when scheduling so you know what happens in between. The measurements are written on the order itself, so the fabricated cover can be checked against them before it goes up.
Tall chases on two-story homes
A chase that runs up a two-story wall puts the cover high above the ground, where it catches stronger wind than a short chase on a one-story roof. Access takes more setup, and the cover needs firm fastening on all sides. We plan the equipment for the height, and we discuss sheet thickness and fastener spacing with that exposure in mind before you approve the work on your Lake Avalon home. On a very tall chase, a thicker sheet or a stiffer shape keeps the cover from drumming in wind.
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.

Asked in Lake Avalon about chase cover replacement
Will you reuse my existing chimney cap?
If the cap is sound and is the one listed for your chimney, yes. We lift it off, replace the cover and reinstall it. If it is damaged, we quote the listed replacement instead.
Can the rust stains on my siding be cleaned?
They can often be lightened, and that work is separate from replacing the cover. We list stain cleaning or touch-up paint on its own line so you can decide whether to include it.
