Chimney Chase Top Replacement in Morris

Valley Chimney Sweep & Restoration recently completed the installation of a new chimney chase on a home in Morris, IL.  We installed the chase after our homeowners began to notice some wear and tear on their previous cover.

The chimney chase is made up of a large flat sheet of copper or stainless steel that covers the top surface of the chimney housing and extends over the edges to deflect moisture from the chimney structure.

It’s inevitable that if you own a home with a chimney that the chimney chase top will one day need to be replaced.

Chase covers will rust, and when they do they will begin to leak rust water onto nearby siding or brick leaving behind damaging rust stains.  A damaged chase cover can also lead to moisture making its way to your chimney structure, causing water damage along the way.

Most prefabricated chimney chase covers are made with galvanized metal. Rust begins not long after the factory installed coating diminishes. At Valley we use only the highest quality custom chimney chase covers. For the best fit, Valley measures your chimney’s dimensions and our chase covers are cut to your exact specifications.
