Chase Repair From the Water Path Inward
What gets checked, opened and rebuilt on a chase repair in Cheval.
Firestops and shields inside the chase
Where a factory-built chimney passes through a floor or ceiling level inside the chase, its manual calls for firestop spacers, and some systems also call for an attic insulation shield where the pipe passes into an attic. These parts keep framing and insulation away from the pipe, and they are easy to damage or leave out when a chase is rebuilt too quickly.
When our pros open a chase, they check that every firestop and shield the manual lists is present and seated, and they note any that are missing before the wall is closed. You get a written list of what was found, so the finished chase is sound inside as well as out.
Siding that matches the house and sheds water
Chase siding is replaced to match the house where it can be, whether lap siding, panel siding, fiber cement or stucco. Each product has its own installation instructions for clearance at the roof line, joint treatment and fastening, and siding makers treat those details as part of keeping the wall dry.
Our pros follow the instructions for the product going on your chase, seal cut ends where the product calls for it and keep the bottom edge clear of the roofing so it cannot wick water. You see the siding options and an upfront price for each before work starts in Cheval.
The storm collar and the top of the pipe
At the spot where the chimney pipe comes up through the chase cover, a storm collar throws water clear of the opening. Manufacturer instructions for listed systems have the collar slid down snug and sealed where it meets the pipe, and one manual warns against caulking the pipe directly to the collar on the chase top. The ventilation openings those parts need are left open.
Water that gets past a failed collar runs down the pipe and into the chase. Our pros check the collar and the termination cap during chase work and replace them with parts listed for your system when they have failed, so the repaired walls are not soaked again from the top.
Corner boards, trim bands and moldings
Some chases carry corner boards, a band of trim under the cover or a decorative molding near the top. These pieces shed water when they are sealed and flashed, and they trap it when they are not.
Our pros replace rotted trim with material suited to exterior use, prime it where the product calls for it and flash any ledge that could hold water. The chase keeps its look without keeping the water.
