How Our Pros Repair Chimney Chases in Forest Hills
Chase repairs booked within 72 hours of the free inspection are 10% off. Here is how our specialists keep the new wood dry.
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.
Chase repair before listing or buying a home
Soft siding and stains on a chase are easy for a buyer or a home inspector to notice. Repairing the chase before listing takes a question out of the sale, and a buyer who knows the chase condition can plan the first repairs with a written estimate in hand.
Our team gives a free written estimate that separates chase framing, siding, flashing and cover work, so each item can be discussed on its own. The work comes with our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Water damage inside the house
A long-running chase leak can stain or soften drywall and trim inside, next to the fireplace. Those repairs make sense only after the chase is closed and the wall behind them has dried.
Our pros tell you what they see inside and whether the damage looks active or old. Interior finish work sits outside chase repair, so you get a clear line between our job and what a painter or drywall contractor should handle.
Choosing the siding for a repaired chase
Where the house allows it, some owners replace wood chase siding with fiber cement or another rot-resistant product. Each option has its own installation rules, finish and look, and the choice should suit the rest of the house.
Our pros lay out the siding options that match your home, with an upfront price for each, and install the one you choose to its maker's instructions.
