How a new chase cover keeps Lockhart chases dry
Skirt depth and the drip edge
The skirt is the cover's bent-down edge that wraps over the top of each chase wall. It must reach past the top edge of the siding so wind-driven rain cannot blow up under it. At the bottom, a drip edge kicks outward so water falls clear instead of running back along the metal into the wall. Fireplace manuals list a turndown and drip edge as required parts of a chase top, and we set the skirt depth after seeing the wall finish at the top of your chase.
Planning ahead for a future fireplace change
If you are considering replacing the fireplace or changing what the chase serves, tell us before the cover is made. A new unit may use a different pipe diameter or position, and its collar needs to match. Building the cover for the current pipe and then cutting a new hole later weakens the sheet and invites leaks. When a change is firm, we plan the cover around it. When it is uncertain, we lay out the tradeoffs. The same goes for a planned reroof, since a thicker roof can change the height the pipe needs above the cover.
Steep roofs and difficult access
Steep and tile roofs take extra care to reach the chase without damaging the roof itself, and clay or concrete tiles crack under unsupported foot traffic. When your roof needs special access, we say so during the inspection, plan the approach and include any added time in the estimate, so there are no surprises on installation day. Where the roof is too steep to walk safely, the work is planned from ladders and roof brackets set for that pitch.

Chase top answers for Lockhart homeowners
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.
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.
