Factory-built fireplaces are often enclosed by a framed chase. The metal cover at the top must shed water without ponding, remain rigid in wind and seal correctly around every pipe. Flat, thin or poorly fitted covers commonly rust through and send water into the chase where damage can remain hidden.
What to look for
Signs a chase cover is failing
- Rust streaks run down the chase siding
- The cover visibly sags or holds standing water
- Collars or storm collars are loose and heavily sealed
- Water enters the fireplace or chase during rain
- Metal rattles, lifts or flexes in wind
A complete written scope
- Exact chase dimensions and pipe offset measurements
- Metal, gauge, finish, overhang and edge selection
- Custom fabrication for all penetrations
- Removal and disposal of the existing cover when included
- Installation with compatible fasteners, collars and sealants
Our service process
- Measure the chase and every termination from fixed reference points
- Confirm metal, finish, collar and drainage details
- Fabricate the cover to the approved dimensions
- Remove the failed cover and inspect the accessible chase top
- Install, secure and document the completed assembly

Service questions
Details worth understanding.
Final specifications depend on the inspected conditions, appliance listing, selected manufacturer and applicable local requirements.
Why should a chase cover have a cross-break?+
The slight raised geometry helps move water toward the edges instead of allowing it to sit in the center. It also adds rigidity to a broad sheet of metal.
Can a rusted cover be coated instead of replaced?+
Surface coating may extend the life of a stable cover, but perforation, deep corrosion, failed seams or ponding geometry normally justify replacement.
