Our approach to chase covers in Westfield
Protecting the chase while the cover is made
When the old cover is leaking badly, the wait for fabrication is a fair concern. If temporary protection is needed between the measuring visit and installation, we explain what it will be and what it can and cannot do. A temporary measure limits exposure while leaving the corrosion and any damage beneath it for the permanent repair. If we advise it, keep the fireplace unused until the new cover and any related work are complete. We do not charge for temporary protection as though it were the repair, and the estimate keeps the two apart.
Water testing the finished cover
Where the roof gives safe footing, we run water over the new cover after installation and watch where it goes. Water should leave every edge and drip clear of the siding, with nothing pooling near the collar. This check confirms the slope and skirt are doing their job before we pack up. If anything looks wrong, it is corrected on the same visit, while the tools and materials are still on your Westfield roof. We also look at the siding below the chase once the water runs, since that is where a poor drip edge shows first.
Leaks at the base versus the top
Water can enter a chase at its top, through the siding or at the base where it meets the roof, and the cover addresses only the first. When stains appear low on the chase or on the ceiling right beside it, the base deserves a close look. We inspect both ends of the chase and tell you which one the evidence points to, so you do not replace a sound cover when chimney flashing repair is what the leak needs.
Checking the cap screen while we are up there
Many termination caps carry a screen that keeps animals and debris out of the pipe. Since the cap comes off during a cover replacement, we look at its screen at the same time. A screen torn open, rusted through or packed with debris is noted with a recommendation. Cleaning or replacing the listed cap is its own item, so you can approve it along with the cover or leave it for later. A clear screen also matters for the chimney's draft, so a blocked one is worth fixing even without animal trouble.

Chase cover questions from Westfield
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.
Will you reuse my existing chimney cap?
If the cap is sound and is the one listed for your chimney, yes. We lift it off, replace the cover and reinstall it. If it is damaged, we quote the listed replacement instead.
