Chase Cover Repair
The chase cover is the metal lid on a factory-built chimney chase, and where the builder used galvanized steel it rusts, ponds water, and then drains straight into the framing below. If the rust has not perforated the pan and the slope still sheds, a repair buys real time: we bring the surface back to bare metal, prime it, seal pinholes and failed seams, re-flash and re-seal the flue collars where most leaks actually start, and correct the spots holding standing water. Price moves with the size of the chase and how much surface has to be taken back. We will tell you plainly when a cover is too far gone — sealant over a rusted-through pan is a season of delay, and the framing underneath pays for it.

What is chase cover repair?
The chase cover is the metal lid on a factory-built chimney chase, and where the builder used galvanized steel it rusts, ponds water, and then drains straight into the framing below.

Every chase cover repair includes:
- Surface taken to bare metal, primed, and sealed at seams and pinholes
- Flue collars re-flashed and re-sealed — the most common leak point
- Ponding and standing-water areas corrected so the cover drains
- Framing and firebox below checked for existing water damage
- An honest replacement call when the pan is rusted through

We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it.

FAQ
Common questions about chase cover repair.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
The NFPA recommends an annual chimney inspection (Level 1), with sweeping done when buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For active wood-burning fireplaces, that's typically once per heating season.
Are your technicians certified?
Our chimney inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable via the CSIA member directory at csia.org. We also have NFI specialists for fireplace installations.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, animal trapped in flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage. Same-day in most cases.
Do you provide written quotes before work begins?
Always. We provide a written quote before any work begins, with photos of the issues we found. Final pricing depends on chimney condition and any additional work identified during inspection.
What's the Prime Program membership?
Prime Program is our annual maintenance program at $19.99/month ($240/year). Includes: annual Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract.
