Getting the chase top right in Piedmont
Rust and water marks inside the fireplace
On many prefabricated fireplaces, rain that gets past the chase top ends up inside the unit. Rust flakes on the firebox floor, water marks on the refractory panels or a damp smell after storms are clues worth mentioning when you call. None of them proves the cover is at fault, since a damaged cap or pipe joint can do the same. The inspection starts at the top, and our written findings tie each symptom to the part we believe is responsible.
Soft wood under the old cover
Lifting a failed cover sometimes reveals dark, soft wood along the top plates or sheathing of the chase. A new cover cannot fasten well to rotted framing, and the damp continues beneath it. That is structural enclosure work, handled as chimney chase repair, and we price it separately for you to approve before we proceed. When the rot is limited, the framing repair and the new cover can often be scheduled together so the chase is closed up once.
Why a stock size seldom fits
Chases are framed to suit each house, and their sizes vary widely. A stock cover that is nearly right leaves a gap or an overhang somewhere, and its collar may not line up with the pipe. Our replacements are fabricated to measurements taken on your roof, with the collar placed at the pipe's measured center. Custom fabrication means a short wait between measuring and installation, which we explain when scheduling so you know what happens in between. The measurements are written on the order itself, so the fabricated cover can be checked against them before it goes up.
Painting a new cover to match the house
Some owners want the chase top to match the roof or trim color. Stainless and copper are usually left unpainted. Galvanized steel can be painted, but zinc needs the right primer or the paint may peel. If color matters to you, tell us early. We explain which metals take paint well, whether a factory-coated sheet is available and how painting affects the schedule. Paint on the skirt should stop short of the collar, where heat from the pipe can blister it.
