Getting the chase top right in Robinswood
What happens to a galvanized cover
Many builder-installed covers are galvanized steel, plain steel protected by a zinc coating. The zinc protects the steel by slowly corroding in its place. Once the coating is used up, first where water sits or where the sheet was cut, the steel beneath begins to rust. White powdery deposits are zinc at work, and orange staining means the steel itself is exposed. When rust has reached the sheet, replacement is the dependable repair. Painting over rust on a thinned sheet only hides the problem for a season or two.
The air space around the pipe inside the chase
Inside the chase, the factory-built chimney pipe needs a stated clearance to wood framing and insulation. One manufacturer lists two inches for its chimney series, and manuals also call for firestops where the pipe passes each floor level. With the cover off, we look down into the top of the chase and see whether insulation, debris or a nest has crept into that space. Anything we find is written down, and work outside the cover job is priced separately for your approval.
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.
Steep roofs and difficult access
Steep and tile roofs take extra care to reach the chase without damaging the roof itself, and clay or concrete tiles crack under unsupported foot traffic. When your roof needs special access, we say so during the inspection, plan the approach and include any added time in the estimate, so there are no surprises on installation day. Where the roof is too steep to walk safely, the work is planned from ladders and roof brackets set for that pitch.
