Is Your Gas Fireplace Leaking? The Stove Shop can help.

Look up at the ceiling near your fireplace. Do you see faint brown water stains? Do you smell a musty, damp odor when it rains? Or worse, have you heard the dreaded drip, drip, drip inside your walls?

Here is the frustrating truth: When your home was built, the contractors likely installed a cheap, flat, galvanized steel “pan” on top of your chimney chase.

These builder-grade pans are designed to fail. They hold standing water. They rust. They crack.

And when they finally give way, the water doesn’t just drip outside. It runs straight down the inside of your chimney structure, quietly destroying your home.

By the time you see water inside your living room, you could already be looking at:

  • Black mold thriving inside your drywall.
  • Rotting wood framing that compromises your home’s structure.
  • Rusted-out gas fireplace valves that are dangerous (and expensive to replace).

You can’t fix this with a tube of roofing caulk. You need a permanent solution.

The Permanent Fix: A Custom-Fit, “Cross-Broken” Chase Cover

Stop throwing away money on temporary patch jobs. At The Stove Shop Fireplace Experts, we don’t do “one-size-fits-all” because your chimney isn’t one-size-fits-all.

We custom-measure, fabricate, and install premium metal chase covers designed specifically for your home’s exact dimensions.

Why Our Custom Chase Covers Never Pool Water:

  • Cross-Broken Design: We crease the metal diagonally (like an envelope), creating a subtle peak that forces water to run off instantly.
  • Seamless Skirting: Overhanging edges act like an umbrella, shedding water away from the siding of your chimney.
  • Rust-Proof Materials: Available in heavy-duty stainless steel or copper that stands up to tough Pennsylvania winters and spring downpours.

I recently worked with Brandon at The Stove Shop in Phoenixville, and I can honestly say the experience was top-tier from start to finish. You don’t always expect true professionalism in a world of back-ordered parts and “we’ll be there sometime between sunrise and next Tuesday,” but Brandon sets a whole new standard. From the first conversation, it was clear he knows his stuff—and not in an “I’ve memorized the brochure” way, but in a calm, confident, I actually understand how this works way. I ended up going with a Heat & Glo SupremeX with birch logs and the greige interior, and Brandon made the whole process feel effortless. He walked me through every detail without ever overselling, answered all my questions, and made sure I understood exactly what to expect. He was accommodating with timing, followed up quickly, and had that “we’re going to get this right” attitude that you rarely see anymore. What really stands out is that he somehow manages to be both knowledgeable and genuinely funny—the kind of guy who can explain BTUs, venting clearances, and interior panel options while still keeping you laughing. It makes the whole experience lighter, faster, and a lot more enjoyable. But don’t let the humor fool you: the work was meticulous, and he clearly takes pride in doing things properly. If you’re considering a fireplace or stove upgrade, do yourself a favor and talk to Brandon. Between his expertise, professionalism, and personality, he turns a big home decision into a genuinely smooth experience. The Stove Shop is lucky to have him—and now I’m lucky to have a fireplace that looks incredible and works even better.

Stove Shop installed a replacement gas fireplace/heater for an old unit in the home we just purchased. Most importantly, there were several serious safety issues with the old unit and we are grateful for the comprehensive inspection the Stove Shop folks did to identify those before something bad happened. The Stove Shop folks were able to recommend a economical replacement unit and did a wonderful job fixing the safety issues and installing a new unit. From the front line technicians to the back office staff, everyone we dealt with at the Stove Shop was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and focused on delivering outstanding customer service. I would, and will, do business with the Stove Shop again without hesitation and we strongly recommend them to you for all your fireplace and stove needs.

We want to thank the entire team at The Stove Shop for an extremely positive experience. This business is the epitome of a successful small business. Everyone we met -- three visits there before deciding what to purchase -- were knowledgeable, friendly and responsive. Special thanks to our sales rep, Jay, who was a pleasure to work with -- he made the decision-making process easy -- and our Installer, Erich, whose experience and expertise were unmatched. We highly recommend The Stove Shop!

We LOVE our new gas fireplace with heater fan ( replaced existing one ) !! From Alex in the show room to Ian ( surveyor ), Eric and Dan the installers and the ladies in customer service - everyone was great. Eric and Dan explained everything they were doing. They were neat, professional and efficient! We highly recommend the Stove Shop and we are glad we shopped around. The local place wanted to charge $1500 just to remove our old one 😡 , Stove Shop only charged $300. Thank you again to The Stove Shop!!
