Chase Cover Repair & Replacement Services
Rusted Out Chase Cover? We Repair & Replace Chase Covers For Long-Lasting Leak Protection
While masonry chimneys are topped with a crown to prevent water ingress, prefabricated or factory-built chimneys are equipped with a chase cover for the same purpose. These chase covers are essential in safeguarding the chimney from water, birds, animals, and debris, ensuring the longevity and optimal condition of the chimney system. Despite their crucial role, many factory-built chimneys come with stock chase covers made from inferior metals prone to rusting and failure, often leading to leaks and damage.
The presence of a chase cover is non-negotiable for maintaining the integrity of prefabricated chimneys. However, the reality is that the original chase covers may not be built to withstand the test of time and the elements, often resulting in rusting, sagging, or even collapsing. This not only poses a risk of water damage and wood rot but also can lead to unsightly rust stains and the potential for animal intrusion.
Identifying and Resolving Chase Cover Issues
Identifying the root cause of leaks in a prefabricated chimney can be challenging. However, a common culprit is often found in a deteriorated or inadequately installed chase cover. When the chase cover becomes rusted out, it fails to protect the chimney effectively, allowing water and debris to enter and compromising the structure of the chimney chase.
The solution to a failing chase cover is the installation of a new, high-quality cover crafted from durable, rust-resistant materials.
