What a Lasting Chimney Chase Repair Involves
What gets checked, opened and rebuilt on a chase repair in Hyde Park.
Replacing rotted studs and plates
Rotten studs, top plates and blocking are cut back to solid wood and replaced or sistered with new lumber sized to match. The new framing is fastened to carry the chase walls and the cover above them, and it stays outside the clearance the chimney's manual sets around the pipe.
Where treated lumber is used, section R317.3 of the Florida residential code lists the fastener types for it, namely hot-dipped zinc-coated galvanized steel, stainless steel, silicon bronze or copper. Our pros match every nail, screw and connector to the lumber it holds, following hardware guidance that also warns against mixing galvanized fasteners with stainless connectors.
Chase height and the chimney it holds
A chase rebuild is a chance to confirm the chimney still ends where its manual says. Installation manuals for listed factory-built chimneys, such as the Superior and Majestic manuals, apply a two-part height rule. The chimney top must stand at least 3 feet over the spot where it leaves the roof, and at least 2 feet over any roof surface closer than 10 feet.
If a chase is being rebuilt shorter or taller, or a roof addition has changed the lines around it, our specialists check the height against the manual for your system. A chase lowered for looks can leave the chimney below its required height, and that is worth knowing before new framing goes up.
Loose siding, falling parts and a safe wait
A chase that has started to come apart can drop siding, trim or a loose cover in the next strong wind. Keep people, cars and pets clear of the area below it, and do not climb up to pull pieces off. If a section is hanging, our team can secure it temporarily until the repair is scheduled.
Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, and our 24/7 emergency line is there when storm damage cannot wait. The permanent repair follows once the free inspection has mapped the damage.
When rot reaches the roof deck under the chase
A chase that has leaked for a long time can soak the roof sheathing it sits on. Soft decking at the base of the chase means the repair has to start lower than the siding, because new framing needs a sound base.
Our pros check the deck around the chase base when the lower siding comes off, and they tell you if a section needs replacing and whether a roofer should handle the surrounding roofing. You see the plan and the price for each part before work continues.
