We Install Chimney Chase Covers Throughout the Shenandoah Valley Area

At the top of a masonry chimney, you’ll see a concrete crown that’s protecting the flue from the elements and directing water away from the sides of the chimney stack. In a factory-built chimney system, a metal chase cover performs a similar function. If you’re needing chimney chase cover replacement services in the Shenandoah Valley area, we’re here for you. Call or book online now.

What Are Chimney Chase Covers Made Out Of?

While a crown is generally built out of mortar or concrete, a chase cover will be constructed with metal – often galvanized metal, stainless steel or copper.

That said, with metal comes some issues… Since the chase cover is protecting your system from water it can be more prone to experience rust streaks and other water-related damages. This is where choosing the right type of metal is key.

Galvanized metal chase covers are commonly chosen because the material tends to be affordable…but the durability can vary. We sometimes see galvanized metal chase covers needing to be repaired or replaced in as few as five years – which means any upfront costs you saved will be spent on an earlier replacement.

If you’re looking for a new chase cover, we recommend investing in a stainless steel chase cover or a copper chase cover for your chimney flue. Book your next chimney service with us soon.

More About Chase Covers

What Are My Chase Cover Material Options?

We touched on this above, but here is a more in-depth look at your metal chase cover options:

Galvanized Metal: If your galvanized metal chase cover is rusting or corroding, Blue Ridge Chimney Services can replace it with a similar cover. As a rule, a galvanized metal chase cover can work efficiently for around 5 to 15 years, depending on installation and other factors.
Copper: Copper is a highly durable material, and offers the added benefit of some beautiful aesthetics. Many homeowners really love the green/blue patina that develops as copper reacts to the elements.
Stainless Steel: We all know how durable stainless steel is, and its greatest benefit is that it isn’t going to be affected by corrosion or rust the way galvanized metal will be. We recommend stainless steel for a variety of chimney products, from chimney flue liners to chimney caps.

Are You Experiencing Chimney Chase Cover Damage?

If you see rust streaking down the chase cover, call Blue Ridge Chimney Services – rust is a clear indicator that water is getting into your system.

That said, while water is the most common, a lot of different factors can contribute to a chase cover beginning to fail. Take, for example, poor installation – if it was installed so that water is able to pool on the surface, that can allow the metal to start corroding. In addition, sometimes holes from screws or nails contribute to rust and premature breakdowns, or maybe an animal as tampering with it and causes it to bend or break.

Whatever the situation, if you have a problem, let us know – Blue Ridge Chimney Services technicians can bring your factory-built chimney back to functioning correctly and safely.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and Joseph did an excellent job cleaning our chimney and taking care of our wood stove. They gave us tips on how to help us getting even longer use of our wood stove. They had a complete report including photos of what was happening on our stove and chimneys. Blue Ridge Chimneys put in our wood stove a few years ago. We have been happy with their work each year when they have come to work at our home.
