Chase Cover

The most predictable failure on any framed chimney. Replace it early and it is a cover; replace it late and it is framing repair.

What is Chase Cover?

The metal top on a chase. Builder-grade galvanized rusts through on a fairly reliable schedule, then leaks at the flue collars into the framing. Caught early it is a straightforward stainless replacement; caught late the bill includes structure. It is on our annual look-list for exactly that reason.
