603 Chimney & Dryer Vent, LLC – Concord’s Reliable Choice for Chase Cover & Chimney Crown Repairs

Not certain just what it is your crown or chase cover actually does? Many are familiar with these terms, but aren’t sure how they apply to their system specifically. Well, we believe that the more you know about your chimney, the better equipped you’ll be to operate it safely – so let’s go over just what these parts are and why they’re important for homeowners in Concord and beyond.

What’s the Role of My Chimney Crown?

Your chimney crown is meant to protect the bricks and mortar that make up your masonry chimney. Ideally, your crown should slope slightly and extend past the edge of your chimney, ensuring water runs off and away from the sides of the structure.

Unfortunately, many crowns aren’t constructed correctly. And if water is still falling down the sides of your masonry system or your crown is worn thin, your brick chimney is bound to face a lot of damage.

Another common problem with crowns is that many were initially created from a basic mortar mix, rather than a more appropriate cement-based mixture. This causes them to break down prematurely and prevents them from doing their job.

What Does a Chase Cover Do?

A chase cover is essentially a metal chimney crown, and it’s made for a prefabricated chimney rather than a masonry one.

Did your prefabricated unit come with a stock chase cover? Well, a common problem with chase covers is that these initial models aren’t typically made from materials that can stand the test of time. Before long, you’ll spot rusting, corrosion, and other problems, and the more things break down, the easier it will be for water to enter and cause further issues.
