How a new chase cover keeps Lake Weldona chases dry
Chase tops built without metal
Now and then we find a chase top framed in plywood and covered with shingles or roll roofing instead of a metal cover. That arrangement does not match fireplace manuals that call for a chase top with a raised collar, turndown and drip edge at the pipe opening, and it can bring wood closer to the pipe than the stated clearance allows. We record what is there and propose a proper metal chase top built to the system's instructions.
Arranging access at a rental or second home
Chase cover work happens outside and mostly on the roof, so the owner does not always need to be home. We do need a brief look inside the fireplace during the inspection, and tenants deserve notice. Tell us who will provide access and how to reach them. For owners who live elsewhere, we send the written estimate for review and schedule installation once it is approved. The finished work is described in writing so you know what was done without climbing up to look.
Chases that open into the attic
On some homes the chase is open to the attic at its base. Water entering through the cover can then show up as stains on attic framing or insulation near the chase. If you can safely look in the attic, note any staining where the chase meets it. We may ask to look there during the inspection, because it helps confirm whether the chase top is the source. Fresh staining that darkens after rain points to an active leak, while dry, faded marks may be old history.
Blistered paint high on the chase
Paint that bubbles or peels on the upper chase siding can mean moisture behind it, and a failing top is one possible source. Water entering at the top soaks the sheathing from the inside and pushes paint off from behind. We read the pattern. Damage concentrated near the top edge points up toward the cover, while damage lower down may point to the siding, trim or windows. We say which pattern we see before quoting any cover work.
