What a Lasting Chimney Chase Repair Involves
A split board or a full rebuild, our pros repair only what your chase actually needs.
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.
Sheathing and the weather barrier behind the siding
Behind the siding, a chase needs solid sheathing and a water-resistive barrier lapped so water runs down and out. Section R703.2 of the Florida residential code calls for that barrier behind exterior wall coverings. When the layer has gaps, or was torn during an earlier patch, water that gets past the siding has nowhere to go but into the wood.
Our team replaces damaged sheathing, installs the barrier shingle-fashion from the bottom up and laps it over the flashing where the chase meets the roof. It is the layer you never see after the job, and it does much of the work of keeping the new framing dry.
Small repairs when the damage is caught early
Not every chase needs rebuilding. When the framing is dry and sound, a split board, a failed trim joint or a small area of soft sheathing can be cut out and replaced on its own, and the leak that caused it closed at the same time. Catching it early keeps the repair small.
Our pros tell you plainly when a local repair is enough and when it is not, and they show you the wood that made the call. The inspection that decides the scope is free, and a repair booked within 72 hours of it comes with 10% off.
Matching new framing to the old
Old chase framing may use lumber sizes or stud spacing that differ from what is sold today. New studs are sized and shimmed so the sheathing lies flat and the siding lines up with the rest of the chase, and blocking is added where siding joints need solid backing.
Our pros take those measurements when the wall is open and cut new framing to fit, so the repaired face does not bulge or dip. Details like that are what make a repair disappear once it is painted.
