OVERVIEW
The Metal Lid That Keeps Water Out of Your Chimney
A chimney chase cover is the flat metal top that seals the opening of a framed chimney chase. It is the first line of defense against rain, snow, and falling debris, and it keeps birds, squirrels, and other animals from finding a way inside. When the cover rusts, warps, or was never sized correctly, water works its way into the chase and reaches the wood framing, the liner, and the ceilings and walls below. Left alone, that slow leak turns into rot, mold, and repairs that cost far more than the cover itself.
Our team measures your chimney, prepares a chase cover to match, and installs it with a creased top and drip edges so water runs off instead of pooling. The result is a clean, watertight top that guards your fireplace, your framing, and your family. Because a chase cover sits out of sight, homeowners often do not think about it until a leak appears, so a proper chase cover installation is one of the simplest ways to protect your home from the top down. Every job is backed by a lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion.

WHEN YOU NEED IT
Signs You Need a Chase Cover Replacement
Most homeowners never look at the top of their chimney, so chase cover problems go unnoticed until a stain shows up on a ceiling. Here are the signs that it is time for a chase cover replacement.
-
Rust or corrosion on the cover
Orange streaks and rust spots mean the metal is breaking down. Once rust starts, small holes follow, and water gets straight in.
-
Water stains or leaks inside the home
Brown marks on the ceiling or wall near the fireplace, or a musty smell, often trace back to a failing chimney chase cover overhead.
-
Pooling water on top
A flat or sagging cover that holds standing water after rain will rust through faster and let moisture sit against the seams.
-
A loose or wrong sized cover
A cover that shifts, lifts in the wind, or does not fully overlap the chase leaves gaps that let rain and animals in.
-
No cover at all
An open or missing top exposes the framing and flue to the weather. This needs attention right away.
-
Peeling paint or stained siding below
When runoff escapes a worn cover, it streaks down the chase and damages the finish underneath, a clear sign the top is no longer sealing.

What Our Clients Say
Mike S.
Chimney Professionals did a terrific job cleaning my two wood burning fireplaces in a Manhattan brownstone. They came within one day. Their equipment is state of the art, and it was all done in less than 30 minutes. Everything kept spotless. The price was right too.

Not only did they answer right away, they had Rod at my door first thing Monday morning and sourced a hard to find part same day when others could not. They beat every other quote I got and had our system back up and running in under an hour.

Bruce S.
The chimney in my 115 year old brick rowhouse had a badly deteriorated terra cotta lining. Michael gave me a fair price, was punctual, and while spending more time than he expected, stuck to the original price. Kudos to Michael for getting a tricky job done.

Mike and his team are phenomenal. Very quick to respond and schedule and then more importantly, absolute professionals. Deep cleaned the chimney and made sure they cleaned any residual dust around the area.

They were able to come out next day and fix our gas fireplace issue. They listened to all of our concerns and addressed any questions we had while thoroughly explaining the work that needed to be done. The price was fair and upfront.

FAQ
Chase Cover Questions From Homeowners
A chimney chase cover is the flat metal lid that seals the entire top of a framed chimney chase. It keeps rain, snow, debris, and animals out of the chase and protects the framing and flue underneath.
A chase cover seals the whole top of a framed chase. A chimney cap sits over the flue opening itself. Many homes need both to keep water and animals out.
A budget cover made from a metal that rusts easily breaks down after a few winters. A flat design with no creased or raised centre traps standing water, which is the fastest route to corrosion and pinhole leaks. A cover that was never measured to the chase leaves gaps at the edges where wind drives rain underneath. Missing drip edges let runoff cling to the chase and soak into the framing and siding. And years of freeze and thaw cycles, sun, and storms wear down even a decent cover.
From the ground, check for a shifted, dented, or lifted cover after heavy wind, rain, or snow. Watch your ceilings and walls near the fireplace for new stains or a musty smell. Keep the top clear of leaves and debris that trap moisture. Schedule a yearly inspection so rust, gaps, and pooling are caught before they become leaks. And act fast on small signs, because a little rust or a loose edge is easy and affordable to address now.
Once your custom cover is prepared, most installations are completed in a single visit. We share a clear timeline with your estimate.
Rust or streaking on the cover, water stains inside near the fireplace, standing water on top, or a loose or missing cover all point to a chase cover replacement. We inspect the top and tell you exactly what is happening.
Very often, yes. A rusted or ill fitting cover lets water into the chase, and it can travel down to your ceilings and walls. We will inspect the top and find the source.
It depends on the size and shape of your chase, the number of flue openings, roof height and access, any existing damage to the framing or liner, and the condition of the old cover. Your free same day estimate gives you clear pricing before any work begins.
A properly sized cover with a creased top and drip edges is built to last for years, and ours is backed by a lifetime warranty against rust and corrosion.
An affordable cover now prevents far more expensive water damage to your framing, liner, and interior later. It is one of the best value repairs for protecting your home.
