Chimney Chase Repair From Local Specialists
Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, and the chase inspection is free.
Opening the chase to see the real damage
The siding on a chase hides the sheathing and studs behind it, and rot inside can be worse than the surface suggests. Our pros remove the damaged cladding in sections, check the sheathing and framing with a probe and follow the wet wood until they reach sound material in every direction.
Before that happens, you agree to the plan and to how any hidden damage will be priced. If more rot turns up than the first opening suggested, the work pauses, you see it, and you approve the change before our team goes further. No surprise lands on the final bill.
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 Lake Magdalene.
Stucco on a framed chase
Stucco over a wood chase is a system made of sheathing, a weather barrier, lath and the stucco coats, with weep or flashing details where water can leave. International Masonry Institute guidance separates stucco on framing from stucco applied directly to masonry, because the framed version depends on those hidden layers to stay dry. Cracks, hollow-sounding patches and stains at the base can all mean water is behind it.
Patching the surface over wet sheathing hides the problem for a season. Our specialists open the stucco where it has failed, repair the framing and barrier and rebuild the coats to meet the existing finish. Color and texture are matched as closely as the old surface allows, and we tell you honestly where a repaired area may still show.
Leaving the chimney's air openings alone
Some chase tops and termination parts have ventilation openings that the chimney maker requires, and the manuals for listed systems warn against sealing them. Closing them to stop a leak can change how the system is meant to work.
Our pros leave those openings as the manual shows and stop water with the right flashing, collar and sealant instead. If an opening itself is letting water in, the fix comes from the manufacturer's own parts.
