How Our Pros Repair Chimney Chases in Dover
Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, and the chase inspection is free.
Signs of chase rot you can see from the yard
A rotting chase often announces itself quietly. Paint that bubbles or peels on one face, siding that bows or feels soft at the bottom, trim that has pulled away at the corners, dark streaks under the cover or a stain on a ceiling inside near the chimney are all worth a call. Rust stains running down the siding point to metal failing above.
Please look from the ground and leave the ladder in the garage. Our team probes the suspect areas and measures moisture in the wood where that helps, then tells you what the readings do and do not show. A moisture reading says the wood is wet, and it cannot tell you how strong a stud is, so soft or dark wood gets opened and judged by eye.
What to tell our pros when you call about a chase
A few details help plan the visit. Tell us when you first saw the damage, whether water shows up inside after storms, whether the fireplace burns wood or gas and roughly how old the chase cover is if you know. Earlier patches, paint jobs or roof work around the chase are useful too, because they can hide or explain what we find.
You do not need to measure anything or climb up to look. Our local, family-owned team handles that during the free inspection and walks you through the findings, with upfront pricing for every line of the repair.
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.
What the chase repair estimate shows
Your written estimate separates each part of the job, from the siding or stucco area and the sheathing and framing to the barrier, the flashing and any cover or collar work. It also says how hidden damage found after opening will be priced.
Nothing goes beyond the agreed scope without your approval, nothing is added to the price later, and our 100% satisfaction guarantee applies. Approve the chase work within 72 hours of the inspection and it is 10% off.
