Put An End To Chimney Leaks With a Quality Stainless Steel Chase Cover
There are two major types of chimneys: masonry and prefabricated/factory-built. While they vary greatly with regard to materials and installation, one thing is true for both: both need protection against moisture.
So how do you keep moisture out of your chimney? Well, it starts with a quality chase cover (for prefabricated chimneys) or a chimney crown (for masonry chimneys). For chimney chase covers near Dallas, turn to us. Call or book online today.
What Is a Chimney Chase Cover?
The chimney or fireplace chase cover is essentially the prefabricated chimney’s version of a crown. Just as the crown rests at the top of the chimney stack, the chase cover rests at the top of the chimney chase and works to keep the chimney moisture-free — except, unlike the crown, chase covers are typically made of some type of durable metal. To sum up, if you’ve been seeking some type of metal chimney crown replacement, this is what you need.
So what causes these metal components to fail? Well, many prefabricated chimneys come equipped with chase covers made of materials that simply don’t last, like aluminum. Aluminum and similar metals are prone to rust and corrosion, which can lead to holes, chimney leaks, and rust streaks on your chase or home. If this is the case for you, you should be typing “chimney chase cover replacement near me” into your search engine as soon as possible. And if that search landed you here, great! We’d love to help you out.
If you think a low-quality chase cover may be to blame for your chimney leak, let us help by installing a quality and long-lasting stainless steel chase cover. With stainless steel, you can rest assured you’ll have protection against moisture intrusion, season after season.
