Chimney Chase Cover Replacement & Installation in Houston

Frequently Asked Questions About Chase Covers
What is a chimney chase cover, and why is it important for a homeowner?
A chimney chase cover sits atop your chimney, acting like a lid. Unlike a chimney cap that only covers the flue, a chase cover protects the entire top. It prevents leaks by stopping rain and snow from entering. This is vital because water causes corrosion and damage to the chimney liner and other chimney components, benefiting the overall longevity.
Are there different materials used for chimney chase covers, and which is best?
The most common are Galvanized Steel (cheap, rusts quickly), Aluminum (good, but soft), and Stainless Steel (best). We recommend Stainless Steel because it offers the highest durability and comes with a lifetime warranty against rust.
How can a damaged chimney chase cover cause a leak?
When the cover sags, it pools water. Eventually, rust eats a hole through the metal, allowing water to pour directly into your fireplace chase, rotting the wood framing and damaging your drywall
What is the role of a chimney sweep regarding chase covers?
A chimney sweep does more than just clean your flue. They inspect the entire chimney system, including the chase cover. They can identify early signs of damage, such as rust or small leaks. They may also recommend repairs or replacement of the cover and chimney cap to ensure the chimney remains waterproof protecting the homeowner’s investment.
How does a chimney chase cover differ from a chimney crown or a chimney cap?
A Chase Cover is a metal pan that covers the entire top of a wood-framed chimney box (chase). A Crown is a concrete seal used on brick masonry chimneys. A Cap is the smaller metal cage that sits directly over the flue pipe to stop birds and rain.
What maintenance is needed on a steel chimney chase cover, for longevity?
Regular inspection is crucial. Look for signs of rust, corrosion, or damage, especially after severe weather. A chimney sweep can perform more thorough inspections. Galvanized steel covers may need periodic resealing or painting to prevent rust. Catching problems early prevents major leaks and costly repairs. The proactive homeowner protects his investment.
