When Jeremy Weber pulled into the driveway of his Noblesville home, his eyes went straight to the chimney. What should have been a polished feature at the top of his house had become a daily frustration. The chase cover was rusted and worn, creating an eyesore that took away from the curb appeal of the property. He decided it was time to take action, and he reached out to schedule an appointment with Beck’s.
From Estimate to Action
After receiving Jeremy’s request, we arranged for Maranda from our team to visit his home. Her inspection revealed more than just the deteriorated chase cover. The black termination cover on top of the chimney also needed to be replaced, and the mortar joints inside the firebox were showing signs of wear that called for tuckpointing.
We provided Jeremy with a detailed estimate that addressed each issue. By recommending a new chase cover, a replacement termination cover, and fresh mortar inside the firebox, we created a plan that combined both cosmetic improvement and long-term protection. Jeremy appreciated the clear explanation of the work and approved the project right away.
Completing the Repairs
Once the repairs began, our team focused on building lasting solutions that Jeremy could feel confident in. The rusted, galvanized metal chase cover was replaced with a stainless steel chase cover to keep water from pooling and seeping into the structure. The new black termination cover not only protected the flue but also gave the chimney a clean, updated appearance. Inside, the tuckpointing restored strength to the firebox mortar joints, ensuring the fireplace was ready for future use.
The transformation was easy to see. What had once been an eyesore at the top of Jeremy’s home was now a polished feature that complemented the property. More importantly, the chimney was now better defended against leaks and deterioration. Jeremy told us the completed repair was exactly what he had hoped for.
Why These Repairs Make a Difference
This project highlights why small chimney components should never be ignored. A rusted chase cover may seem like a minor concern, but it’s the first line of defense against water intrusion. If it fails, rain and snow can work their way into the system causing interior and exterior damages that are far more costly to fix.
The termination cover is equally important, helping vent the system while keeping debris and moisture out. Pairing these exterior repairs with tuckpointing inside the firebox means the entire system – top to bottom – was reinforced. By addressing everything at once, we helped Jeremy prevent future problems while giving his chimney a sharp new look.
