Chase cover work on Meadow Woods roofs
The raised collar around the pipe opening
Where the chimney pipe passes through the cover, the hole needs a raised collar so water running across the top cannot drop straight down beside the pipe. One widely installed fireplace manual describes a two-inch collar that is soldered, welded or spun, a formed part of the cover rather than a loose ring set in caulk. A short collar or a split collar seam is one reason a newer-looking cover can still leak. We measure the old collar and specify the new one.
Chases finished with fiber cement or wood siding
Fiber cement and wood lap siding create a stepped outline at the top of the chase. The skirt has to reach below the high points of that profile, and corner trim boards often stand proud of the siding. We measure at the widest points so the cover laps over the finish on every side. Where wood trim at the top has softened, we record it before the new cover goes on, because fastening into soft trim does not hold.
When a home inspector flags the chase top
Home inspection reports often mention a rusted chase cover, staining or a missing storm collar. If you are buying or selling in Meadow Woods, an inspection from a chimney specialist gives a clearer picture of what the top needs and whether water has reached anything below it. We provide written findings and a separate estimate, which can help both sides of a sale settle the repair. If the closing date is close, tell us when you call so the inspection can be scheduled with that in mind.
A level bearing surface for the new cover
A new cover needs a flat, level surface at the top of the chase to seat on. If the top plates have sagged or twisted, the cover rocks, and its slope ends up off. We check the top for level once the old cover is removed. Minor unevenness can be shimmed with suitable material, while a sagging top that needs reframing is chase repair and is priced on its own. A level top also keeps the drip edge at an even height all the way around, which is how it sheds water cleanly.
