Inside a Chimney Chase Repair
Local chase repair pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every repair.
How rain finds its way into a chase
Water has a handful of ways into a wood chase. A rusted or flat cover lets it pool and drip through seams. Siding joints and corner trim open as caulk ages. The junction with the roof depends on step flashing with the siding lapped over it. And a storm collar that has lost its seal lets water run down the outside of the pipe.
Rot shows up where the water ends, which can be a long way from where it entered. Our pros trace the path from the top down before quoting, because replacing rotten wood without closing the entry point only schedules the same repair again. The estimate names each entry point and the fix for it.
Protecting the roof and pipe during chase work
Chase repair happens on a roof, around a chimney system that has to stay intact. Our team sets up safe access, protects the shingles around the work area and leaves the pipe, its fittings and its firestops undisturbed unless they are part of the job. Debris comes down in a controlled way instead of sliding across the roof.
The fireplace stays out of use while the chase is open, and our pros tell you when it can be used again. Once the walls are closed, they check the flashing, the cover and the pipe top one more time before packing up.
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.
Reading the cracks in a stucco chase
Fine surface crazing in stucco and wider cracks that step, run diagonally or keep growing tell different stories. Surface crazing can be cosmetic, while wide or growing cracks, bulges and hollow spots can mean the backing or framing behind the stucco has moved or gotten wet.
Our pros tap and probe around the cracks and open the stucco only where the findings point to water or movement. You get an honest read on whether patching or opening the wall is the right step.
