How a new chase cover keeps Lockwood chases dry
Fasteners that match the cover metal
A stainless cover held down with plain steel screws soon shows rust streaks at every screw head. Mixed metals in a wet joint also invite galvanic corrosion, where one metal gives itself up to protect the other. We match fastener metal to the cover and use sealing washers under the heads where the manual allows exposed fasteners. The added cost is small, and it prevents the stained look that makes a new cover appear old within a few seasons.
Removing roofing tar and old patches
Some older covers are coated in roofing tar or several layers of sealant by the time we see them. That coating hides the real condition of the metal and can trap water against it. Removal takes longer than lifting a clean cover, and the damage beneath can be worse than the surface suggests. We tell you in advance when a tar-coated top is likely to need extra labor, so the price you approve reflects the job as it really is.
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.
Sizing the collar hole to the pipe
The hole in the cover must suit the outside diameter of the chimney pipe where it passes through. Too large, and the storm collar cannot cover the gap. Too tight, and the pipe loses the small clearance the manuals call for. We measure the pipe itself before ordering, since pipe from different chimney series differs in size even when the fireplaces look alike. The collar is then formed to that diameter with the small gap the manual for your system describes.

Is the chase cover work guaranteed?
Every chase cover we fit comes with our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee, and finished work that is not right brings us back to fix it.
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.
