Chase cover work on Morningside Park roofs
Hemmed edges that stay stiff
A raw-cut sheet edge is sharp, flexible and quick to rust along the cut. Folding the edge back on itself, called a hem, stiffens the skirt, hides the cut and gives the drip edge a clean line. On a large cover, hemmed edges also help the skirt stay tight to the chase in wind. It is a small fabrication detail, and one we name on the estimate so you can compare it with other quotes for your Morningside Park home.
Taking the old cover off without damage
Old covers are often held by rusted screws, sealant and sometimes nails through the top. We remove them in a way that protects the siding, trim and chimney pipe, lifting the termination cap off first when it is staying. Old sealant is scraped from the chase top so the new skirt sits flat. The removed metal leaves with us, and the roof and the ground below are cleared before we go. Any fastener holes left in the framing are checked and filled before the new skirt covers them.
Chases that sit near a gutter or valley
A chase built at an eave or beside a roof valley has extra water running past its base, and splashback can wet the lower siding. The cover at the top is unaffected by that runoff, but the enclosure as a whole is. While inspecting the chase top, we also note where roof water flows around the chase, so any recommendation for diverting it or for flashing work is written up apart from the cover. Water that splashes back onto the lower siding can look like a chase cover leak, which is why we check both ends.
A damp odor from the fireplace after rain
A musty or wet-ash smell from the fireplace after a storm can mean water is reaching the unit. Moisture mixes with old ash and soot, and the odor carries into the room. The source may be the chase cover, the termination cap or the joints of the pipe, so we check each in turn, beginning with the top. If cleaning the firebox is part of the fix, it appears as a separate line. The smell often fades within a few dry days once the water path is closed and the firebox is cleaned.
