Chimney Chase Covers
Chimney Chase Cover Installation in Thomasville, NC
Chimney chase covers are only used with factory-built chimneys made of metal, wood, or vinyl siding, rather than masonry chimneys, which rely on chimney caps. Despite this difference, the purpose of both is the same: To protect the fireplace from the elements and to keep wildlife out. When functioning properly, the angled slope of a chimney chase cover deflects water, snow, and ice from accumulating around the top of the chimney. When chase covers get old or damaged, you may begin to see unsightly rust stains on the sides of a chimney—an indication that you need to call our team for a professional cleaning and inspection.
When To Call The Pros
The two big signs you need a professional are moisture and rust stains. Both of these indicate that the cover isn't doing its job of channeling water away from the chimney and onto the roof.
Our team will be able to help you determine if your chimney chase cover needs to be replaced. If it does, they can also aid in the selection and installation process for a new cover. Delaying repairs of an ill-fitting or broken cover can lead to a number of problems, such as water damage or animal infestation, so it's never a good idea to put off this kind of important maintenance.
