Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our Chimney Chase Covers
What is the difference between a chase cover and a chimney cap?
A chase cover is a metal lid that covers the entire top of a prefabricated chimney chase (the wooden box structure that surrounds a metal chimney pipe). It seals the entire chase from water and weather. A chimney cap, on the other hand, is a smaller device that fits directly over the flue opening of any type of chimney to keep out rain, animals, and debris while allowing smoke to escape.
What materials are best for chase covers?
The best materials for chase covers are stainless steel and copper. At Chimney Concepts, we use 24-gauge stainless steel or copper for our chase covers because these materials offer superior durability and longevity compared to galvanized steel (which typically rusts within 5-10 years). Stainless steel provides excellent durability at a moderate price point, while copper offers premium durability and develops a beautiful patina over time.
How long does a chase cover installation take?
A typical chase cover installation takes approximately 2-4 hours to complete. This includes removing the old cover, taking precise measurements, installing the new custom-fabricated cover, and ensuring proper sealing around all edges. The exact time can vary depending on the accessibility of your roof, the size and complexity of your chase, and weather conditions.
How long will a new chase cover last?
A properly installed stainless steel chase cover should last 20-30 years or more, while copper chase covers can last 50+ years. This is significantly longer than the 5-10 year lifespan of typical galvanized steel covers that come standard on many prefabricated chimneys. The investment in a quality chase cover pays for itself by preventing costly water damage repairs.
Can I install a chase cover myself?
While DIY installation is technically possible, we strongly recommend professional installation for chase covers. Proper installation requires accurate measurements, specialized tools, safe roof access, and expertise in flashing and sealing techniques. Incorrect installation can lead to water intrusion, which defeats the purpose of the chase cover and can cause extensive damage to your home.
