Our approach to chase covers in Moss Park
Looking at the top firestop while it is exposed
Firestops are the metal plates that close the opening around the pipe where it passes a ceiling or floor level, and they keep debris from dropping down the chase. Water that has entered through a failed cover often runs down the pipe and stains or rusts the upper firestop first. We check what is visible from the top of your Moss Park chase and tell you whether moisture has reached it, so the repair plan covers the water path as well as the metal lid.
Brick-faced chases around a metal chimney
Some homes have a factory-built chimney inside a chase faced with brick or stone veneer. The lid over that enclosure is still a chase cover, and it still needs a collar, a slope and a drip edge. The top edge of the veneer is often uneven, so the skirt is sized to its highest points. We also check whether the top of the veneer is sealed or open, because water entering there follows a different path than water through the cover.
Coordinating with a roofer
The chase cover and the roof meet only at the base of the chase, where flashing ties the enclosure into the roof. During a reroof, that base flashing is usually redone by the roofer, while the cover at the top is a separate component. Scheduling the cover just before or right after the roof work avoids extra foot traffic on new shingles. We coordinate timing with your roofer and keep each contractor's scope in writing. If the roofer is already scheduled, tell us the dates so the cover can be measured before the old roof comes off.
When only the cap needs replacing
Sometimes the cover is sound and the damage is limited to the termination cap, such as a rusted hood, a broken screen or missing fasteners. In that case the cover stays, and chimney cap replacement is the right job. We will not sell you a chase cover your chase does not need. The inspection separates the two, and the estimate prices only what is failing. The replacement cap must be the one listed for your chimney model. Replacing a sound cover just because the cap failed adds cost without adding protection.

Before you replace a chase top in Moss Park
Can a rusted chase cover be patched?
A small, isolated defect can sometimes be repaired. A cover rusted through in several places keeps failing around each patch, so we explain which option fits your cover after seeing it.
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.
