"Before & After: Chase Cover Replacement — Protecting Your Chimney from the Inside Out
Is your chase cover original to your home? If so, it may be quietly causing serious damage you can't see yet.
Most factory-installed chase covers are made from galvanized steel — and over time, that metal rusts. Once corrosion sets in, water finds its way into the chase, soaking into the wood framing below. Left unchecked, that moisture leads to rotted structural framing, mold, and costly repairs that go far beyond the chimney itself.
At Estates Chimney Inc., we see this all the time during inspections throughout Bucks County and Montgomery County, PA. Homeowners in Doylestown, Chalfont, Lansdale, Blue Bell, Horsham, and surrounding communities are often surprised to learn that a simple, affordable upgrade could have prevented hundreds — or even thousands — of dollars in damage.
The fix is straightforward: upgrade to a stainless steel chase cover.
Stainless steel won't rust, won't corrode, and is built to handle the freeze-thaw cycles our Pennsylvania winters dish out year after year. Every stainless steel chase cover we install comes with a lifetime warranty against corrosion — so once it's done, it's done.
Don't wait for water damage to show up on your ceiling or walls. If your chimney hasn't been inspected recently, now is the time. A professional chimney inspection is the first step in catching problems like a failing chase cover before they become expensive emergencies.
