Chase cover details for Parramore homes
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.
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.
Covers installed by a previous owner
When someone else installed the current cover, you may not know its metal, its age or who made it. We identify the material from its condition, check whether it was built for this chase or adapted from something else, and look for earlier repairs. That history helps explain the current problems. It does not change the goal, which is a cover made to your chase and to the instructions for the chimney system inside. If you have paperwork from the sale, a line about chimney or roof work can help us date the current cover.
A pipe that leans out of plumb
Sometimes the pipe above the cover leans, pulling the collar and storm collar out of line and opening a gap on one side. The cause may be a loose support, a damaged section or an old impact. We note the lean and check what can be seen of the supports from the top. Straightening or supporting the pipe is chimney system work that must follow the manufacturer's instructions, so it is described and priced separately. A leaning pipe can also rub against the new collar, so the lean is addressed before or with the cover work.
