Chase top know-how for Pineloch homeowners
A pitched or hipped top for wider chases
Wide chases, and chases with two pipes, can outgrow simple creases. A fabricated pitch, sometimes built as a shallow hip, gives the sheet a true slope from the collar out to each side. The Majestic installation manual we work from pitches the chase top downward, away from the pipe opening, by a quarter inch per foot or more. The shape we recommend follows the size of your chase, the number of openings and the instructions for the installed system.
Refitting the storm collar above the cover
The storm collar is a cone-shaped band clamped around the pipe just above the chase cover collar, where it sheds rain over the gap below. When a cover is replaced, the old storm collar is often bent, rusted or cut, and reusing it can undo the new work. Manuals differ on exactly where sealant goes around the storm collar, so we follow the one written for your fireplace system. A new storm collar goes on the estimate when the old one no longer seats snugly.
Which joints get sealant and which stay open
Sealant has a place on a chase cover, and a limit. Seams in the sheet and the joint where the collar meets the top are sealed, since the manuals call for caulking seams to prevent leaks. The gap between pipe and collar stays open, and ventilation openings in the termination are never sealed. We follow the written instructions for your fireplace system joint by joint, because a bead run around everything can trap water or block openings the system needs.
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 Pineloch chase and tell you whether moisture has reached it, so the repair plan covers the water path as well as the metal lid.

Chase top answers for Pineloch homeowners
What is the difference between a chase cover and a chimney cap?
The chase cover is the broad metal lid over the framed enclosure. The cap is the smaller hooded part on the chimney pipe. Either can rust, and we identify which one needs work before quoting.
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.
