Our Process

Chase cover work on Goldsboro homes

How the new cover is fastened

Screws driven straight down through the flat top put holes in the one place water sits. A replacement cover is fastened through the turndown into the sides of the chase, where water runs past the fasteners instead of standing on them.

We use fasteners suited to the cover metal and seal their heads where the design calls for it. In Goldsboro, the fastener layout is part of what we explain at the end of the job. Rusted screws are one way old covers come loose in strong wind, so the fastener layout gets as much attention as the metal.

Putting the correct cap back on the pipe

The termination cap on a factory-built chimney belongs to the listed system. The Majestic manual, for example, calls for a cap approved and listed for that fireplace system. A universal cap from a hardware aisle is a different product, even if it seems to fit the pipe.

When your cover is replaced, the existing cap goes back on if it is sound. If it is damaged, we identify the correct replacement part for your model before quoting it, so the top of the chimney on your Goldsboro home ends up as the manufacturer intended.

Stains inside the house near the chase

Water that gets past a failed cover runs down inside the enclosure and can show up well away from the top: a stain on the ceiling beside the fireplace, damp drywall next to the hearth, or a musty smell in a closet that backs onto the chase.

We relate those signs to what we find on the roof. The new cover addresses the entry we identified, and any drywall or framing already affected is listed separately, so the repair plan for your Goldsboro home covers the whole problem.
