A rusted chase top is a common, and preventable, source of chimney leaks. Green Home Services fabricates and installs durable, custom chase covers for prefabricated chimneys across San Antonio and Austin to keep water out for good.
A chase top, or chase cover, is the metal lid on a prefabricated chimney that keeps water out of the chase. Thin, low-grade covers rust over time, causing leaks and staining down the chimney. We measure your chimney and fabricate a custom chase top from durable stainless steel or aluminum that resists rust and fits precisely, replacing a common leak source with a lasting solution.
On a prefabricated, factory-built chimney, the chase top is the metal cover that seals the top of the chase, the framed enclosure around the flue. It is one of the most important, and most overlooked, defenses against water. Many homes are built with thin, low-grade chase covers that rust within a few years, developing holes and low spots that let rainwater pool and leak straight into the chimney. The telltale rust stains running down the siding are a sign the cover has failed. Once water gets in, it damages the chimney’s internal components and structure. Replacing a failed chase top with a properly measured, custom-fabricated stainless steel or aluminum cover eliminates this leak source and protects the chimney for the long term.
