Why a Chimney Chase Cover Is Important

A chimney chase cover sits on top of prefabricated or metal chimneys and protects them from rain, debris, and moisture. In Seattle’s wet climate, rusted or poorly fitted chase covers are a common cause of chimney leaks.

  • Prevent rain and moisture from entering the chimney
  • Reduce rust and corrosion damage
  • Protect interior chimney components
  • Extend the life of prefabricated chimneys
  • Help prevent mold and water-related issues

Chase Cover vs. Chimney Cap — What’s the Difference?

They’re often confused. A chase cover is the flat metal pan that closes off the top of a framed (prefab) chimney chase; the cap sits above the flue pipe itself. Rust rings on the cover, staining down the chase siding, or standing water on top are signs the cover is failing — and once it leaks, water goes straight into the chase framing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my chase cover rust?

Most builder-grade covers are galvanized steel, which eventually rusts through in wet climates. Stainless steel or aluminum replacements don’t have that problem.

Can the cover just be patched?

Sealant over rust is temporary at best. A properly cross-broken (slightly peaked) replacement cover sheds water and solves it for good.

How do I know if I have a chase or a masonry chimney?

If the chimney is wood-framed and sided like the house, it’s a chase; solid brick is masonry. Not sure? Send us a photo when you book.
