Chimney Chase Cover Amagansett

CHIMNEY CHASE COVER Amagansett

New Chimney Chase Cover IN Amagansett, NY

A chimney chase cover is a cap (usually stainless or galvanized steel, copper or aluminum) used solely for a factory-built, prefab fireplace chimney’s flue top. Chimney chase covers (also known as top pans) cover the outermost top of the flue opening and are therefore subject to more of Amagansett‘s weather than any other part of the chimney and tend to need more inspections more often.

Chimney Cap, Chase and Cover Replacement

Just this week we received an email from a Amagansett homeowner who waited too long to replace his rusting chimney chase cover. Because he waited so long, everything else needed to be replaced too… we replaced the chimney chase, the chase cover and the chase cap.

 

Don’t get us wrong, everything now looks, works and functions beautifully, but a simple chimney inspection by a pro like us a couple of  years earlier would have saved this Amagansett homeowner hundreds of extra dollars this week.

Do You Need A New Chimney Chase Cover?

It’s smarter and more cost-effective to buy a high quality chase cover. When purchased wisely and installed correctly, a chimney chase cover will last for a very long time.

Chase Cover Materials To Think About
  • Galvanized steel: the lowest cost – will rust quickly and need to be replaced soon after installation so it’s usually best not to use.
  • Aluminum: won’t rust – but is generally too soft for a chase cap. As a practical matter it’s not a good choice.
  • Stainless steel: the strongest choice – costs more than galvanized steel – but will last forever. Stainless steel is considered the best choice.
  • Copper: the top quality choice – but the price tag reflects that. Copper chase covers are generally very expensive.

Signs Your Chase Cover Needs A Repair
  • There’s water flowing into the chimney
  • There’s water pooling on the top of your chimney chase cover
  • Rust is visible from the outside (which means it’s worse on the inside!)
  • There’s obvious damage to chase cover itself
