What goes into a new chase top in Millenia
Tracing rust streaks on the chase siding
Orange streaks on the siding below the top are the sign owners tend to spot first. They usually start at the edge of a rusting cover, but screws, the storm collar and a rusting cap leave similar marks. We trace each streak to its starting point before recommending work. If the cover is the source, replacement stops new staining. Old streaks may need cleaning or paint, which we list apart from the metal work so the scope stays clear.
Fitting a cover to a stucco chase
On a stucco chase, the skirt laps over a hard, textured finish that does not flex the way siding does. The top edge of the stucco needs to be sound, since cracks there let water in behind the skirt. We check the stucco at the top before measuring and size the skirt to clear its thickness. Any cracking we find is noted, and stucco repair is described separately from the cover so you can decide on each. Where the stucco has a foam trim band at the top, we check that it is sound before the skirt goes over it.
A cover that rattles or booms in wind
A drumming or rattling noise near the chimney on windy days can come from a chase cover that has loosened or lost its stiffness. Loose screws, a warped sheet or a skirt pulled away from the siding let the metal move. Besides the noise, the movement widens screw holes and breaks sealant. We check whether your existing cover can be refastened or needs replacement, and the estimate explains which and why. A rattling cover can also loosen the storm collar above it, so we check that part at the same time.
Wet insulation inside the chase
Some chases are insulated on their inside walls, and insulation soaked through a failed top stays damp for a long time. Wet insulation loses much of its value and holds moisture against the framing. If we see wet or matted insulation from the top, we note it. Whether it needs removal depends on how far it extends, which may mean opening the chase from the side, a separate job priced for your approval. Insulation that was wet only once and has dried may be fine, which is one reason we describe what we see before recommending removal.
