Chimney Chase Cover Replacement in Suffolk County

Prefab fireplaces — common in Suffolk County homes built from the 1970s through 2000s — use a sheet metal chase instead of masonry. At the top of the chase sits a chase cover that seals it from rain. Factory-installed galvanized steel chase covers rust through in 5–10 years in Suffolk County's coastal environment. Once the chase cover fails, rain pours directly into the chase, rusting the prefab firebox components and damaging drywall and framing. DME Maintenance fabricates stainless steel chase covers custom-fit to your chase dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions — Suffolk County Chimney Services

What is a chimney chase cover?

A chase cover is a flat metal cover that fits over the top of a prefab chimney chase — the box-like structure that surrounds the metal flue pipe on factory-built fireplaces. It prevents rain from entering the chase.

How do I know if my chase cover has failed?

Signs of a failed chase cover include: rust stains running down the chase exterior, water stains on the ceiling or walls near the fireplace, and a rusted or collapsed metal cover visible from the roofline.

What chimney services does DME Maintenance provide in Suffolk County?

DME Maintenance provides chimney cleaning (gas, oil, wood, fireplace, stove, pellet), chimney repair (pointing, crown, flashing, cap, chase cover, waterproofing), stainless steel chimney liner installation, prefab chimney service, and chimney blockage removal throughout Suffolk County, Long Island.

How much does chimney cleaning cost in Suffolk County?

DME Maintenance charges $165 for a standard gas or oil flue cleaning in Suffolk County. Wood-burning fireplace chimney cleaning starts at $195. All cleanings include a full safety inspection and written report. Call 516-690-7471 for an exact quote.

Is DME Maintenance licensed in Suffolk County?

Yes. DME Maintenance holds Suffolk County Consumer Affairs License #H-43223, in perfect standing since our founding in 2001. You can verify this record directly on the Suffolk County consumer affairs portal.

Does every home in Suffolk County need chimney cleaning even without a fireplace?

Yes. Every home that heats with gas or oil has a chimney flue that vents combustion gases. Both gas and oil flues require annual inspection and periodic cleaning. Gas flues are at risk for acidic condensate damage; oil flues accumulate heavy soot. Skipping service creates carbon monoxide and fire risk.
