Signs It Is Time to Call

A chimney chase is an enclosure, and water damage can extend beyond its outer finish. Our St. Petersburg chimney chase repair examines the cover, siding or stucco and the supporting construction together. The chimney or vent inside also needs to remain identified and protected while the enclosure is repaired.

What You Can Expect From Us

Chase repair fixes the framed enclosure around a factory-built chimney: rotted framing, wet sheathing, damaged siding and the trim at the roof. Water usually gets in from the chase cover or flashing, so the top is checked and sealed at the same time. The metal chimney pipe inside is inspected separately.

Find the Extent Behind the Surface

Chimney chase siding repair may begin with a loose panel but reveal deteriorated backing. Rotted chimney chase repair needs to address the affected material and the water entry that contributed to it. A new finish should not conceal unsuitable support.

Wood chimney chase repair can involve trim, sheathing or framing with different responsibilities. Chimney chase framing repair must consider load and the required relationship to the chimney system, rather than copying an unsuitable previous arrangement.

Restore the Enclosure and Its Connections

Stucco chimney chase repair needs compatible support and finish details. The top cover and roof junction should also be considered because they can direct water behind newly repaired surfaces. Each connection has its own role in protecting the enclosure.

Preserve the Vent Inside the Rebuilt Chase

A chimney chase rebuild may be appropriate when damage is extensive. The enclosure work does not automatically replace or repair the manufactured chimney inside it. The reconstruction plan must preserve required space around the retained venting system and keep its intended service points accessible.

Questions Homeowners Ask Before Booking

Why is my chimney chase leaking?

A chimney chase usually leaks from the top. Water gets in through a cover that has rusted or sagged, a storm collar that has opened around the flue pipe or a cracked sealant joint, and siding gaps or flashing problems where the chase meets the roof add to it. The leak shows up as stains in the fireplace, on nearby walls or under the chase.

Is repairing the chase the same as repairing the metal chimney?

No. The chase is the framed and sided box that hides the metal chimney pipe. The pipe itself is a listed vent system with its own parts, so chase repair deals with the framing, sheathing, siding and top. Rust or damage on the pipe, storm collar or cap needs parts from the chimney maker.

Can new siding cover rotted sheathing?

No. Rotted sheathing or framing in a chase is cut out and replaced before any new siding goes on. The wall then holds fasteners and stays square, while new siding over soft wood traps moisture and fails early, and the source of the water, usually the chase cover or flashing, is fixed at the same time.
