 Rusty chimney tops and rusty chimney chase covers are common homeowner problems. Many pre-fab chimney tops are not weather resistant and will rust after rain, snow and ice in as little as 5 years from initial installation. When decaying leaves get caught on the chimney top, as they decay, an acidic condition can eat away the coating on the metal. This can lead to more than just an eye-sore as the rust and deterioration will start happening to the inside of your chimney chase as well. The average chimney chase cover and chimney top are made from thin galvanized sheet metal with no supports installed under the cover to hold up the chimney cap. The resulting puddle of water traps leaves and starts the rusting process quickly. Some installers leave nail holes in the chase cover that eventually start to leak as the caulking gets hard and cracks. As the water leak enters your home additional chimney and wall damage can ensue. Get out in front of this problem and contact Wells & Sons Chimney Service as our custom stainless steel chase covers will outlast and protect your home. Wells & Sons certified technicians always remove the old galvanized chimney chase cover before installing our new stainless steel chase cover preventing the old chimney chase cover underneath from continuing to rust , even when covered, causing ugly staining down the outside of the chimney.
