Rust stains on your chimney siding? Your galvanized chase cover is failing. We replace it with stainless steel (lifetime warranty) or copper. Stop water damage before it destroys your chimney interior.
If you see brown or orange streaks running down the sides of your chimney, your galvanized steel chase cover is rusting through. This is extremely common on prefab (factory-built) fireplaces throughout Chicago's suburbs — Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Naperville, Orland Park, and beyond. The original builder used cheap galvanized metal that rusts within 10-15 years.
Stainless steel chase cover replacement runs $400–$800 depending on chimney size. Copper runs $600–$1,200. All our stainless steel covers include cross-breaks for water drainage, drip edges to prevent runoff staining, and new storm collars sealed with premium terpolymer sealant. Lifetime warranty on stainless steel.
Do not repair a rusted chase cover — replace it. Patching buys months, not years. A stainless steel replacement is a one-time fix that outlasts the chimney itself.
