Chase Covers
Protect Your Prefab Chimney With a Chase Cover That’s Built to Last
As chimney leak resolution and prevention experts, we know that one of the most important parts of a prefab or factory-built chimney is the chase cover. A chase cover is a metal cover that is installed at the top of the prefab chimney chase to keep water, birds, animals, and debris out of the chimney. It’s a protective component that is absolutely critical to the longevity of the chimney system, but the quality of the chase cover itself and the installation determines just how well it works to protect the prefab chimney.
Unfortunately, if your chase cover was installed by the builder or came stock with your prefab chimney, there’s a good chance your chase cover is failing or will fail to keep water out in the near future. In our experience, many installers use low-grade metal to craft chase covers — metal that isn’t strong enough or rust-resistant enough to provide true protection, year after year.
So How Can You Tell if Your Chase Cover Is Leaking or in Need of Replacement?
- Look for rust streaks and stains on the chimney chase (the enclosure around your prefab chimney)
- Look for rust or pooling water on your chase cover
- Look for sagging areas or a sunken areas on your chase cover
If you spot any of these signs of a problem, it’s time to give a professional chimney sweep a call.
Rust streaks and staining are signs of an already present water problem, and the longer a leak goes unrepaired, the worst the end damage will be. Pooling water and sagging spots on your chase cover also signal a problem, because what will inevitably happen is that water will either rust through or become such a burden that it will cause the chase cover to collapse inward.
Keep water out of your prefab chimney by replacing your chase cover with a stronger, more durable, rust-resistant, chase cover from ChimneyTEK of Delaware.
