Chase cover details for Richmond Heights homes
The small gap left open at the pipe
A careful installer does not seal the chimney pipe tight to the cover. Manufacturer manuals call for a small open gap between pipe and collar, and one warns in plain terms against caulking the pipe to the chase top collar. The storm collar then covers that gap from above. Filling it with sealant works against how the system was designed to handle heat. When we find the pipe glued to an old cover in Richmond Heights, the estimate says so and the new top restores the gap.
Backed by our satisfaction guarantee
Every chase cover we install comes with our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee. Should the finished work fall short, tell us and our crew comes back to set it right. Book within 72 hours after the free inspection and 10% comes off, written into the estimate before you approve it. The inspection that comes first is free, so you see the full scope before deciding anything. The satisfaction guarantee covers the work we do on your chase, from the measurements to the finished water test.
Product warranties and our workmanship warranty
Metal suppliers and cap manufacturers may offer their own product warranties, and they set those terms. Our workmanship warranty covers how the cover was measured, ordered and installed. The installation record lists the parts used, so you have what you need if a product question ever comes up with a supplier. Keep that record with the fireplace manual, since a supplier may ask for the model of the chimney system as well as the cover details. If a supplier warranty applies, we tell you what it covers and what it does not, as far as the supplier states it.
Sizing the collar hole to the pipe
The hole in the cover must suit the outside diameter of the chimney pipe where it passes through. Too large, and the storm collar cannot cover the gap. Too tight, and the pipe loses the small clearance the manuals call for. We measure the pipe itself before ordering, since pipe from different chimney series differs in size even when the fireplaces look alike. The collar is then formed to that diameter with the small gap the manual for your system describes.

Chase cover questions from Richmond Heights
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.
Why is my new cover sloped instead of flat?
A flat sheet sags and holds rain, which wears the metal out from the middle. Creases or a pitch send water to the edges, and the fireplace manuals we follow call for the top to slope away from the pipe.
