A homeowner in Glastonbury contacted Safeside Chimney after discovering water in their basement. Upon inspection, our team traced the issue to a severely deteriorated chimney chase cover that was leaking and allowing water to travel all the way down the structure.
The existing chase pan measured 36 ½” x 53 ½” and was badly rusted and rotted through. The plywood beneath it had also suffered extensive water damage, compromising the integrity of the structure.
This chimney had two metal vent stacks, and the water infiltration was affecting both the roof and the interior framing of the chase. In addition to replacing the rotten wood, we:
Installed a brand-new custom chase pan
Replaced three stainless steel chimney caps
Rebuilt the top framing for a tight, weatherproof seal
With the new chase pan, fresh plywood, and high-quality stainless caps in place, this Glastonbury chimney is now fully protected from future leaks and deterioration.
