Inside a Chimney Chase Repair
Local chase repair pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every repair.
Firestops and shields inside the chase
Where a factory-built chimney passes through a floor or ceiling level inside the chase, its manual calls for firestop spacers, and some systems also call for an attic insulation shield where the pipe passes into an attic. These parts keep framing and insulation away from the pipe, and they are easy to damage or leave out when a chase is rebuilt too quickly.
When our pros open a chase, they check that every firestop and shield the manual lists is present and seated, and they note any that are missing before the wall is closed. You get a written list of what was found, so the finished chase is sound inside as well as out.
Clues inside the house near the chase
Chase leaks often show up indoors first. Look for a stain on the ceiling or wall beside the fireplace, peeling paint on the surround, a damp smell in the fireplace area after rain, or rust spots on the top of a metal fireplace or its glass doors.
Our pros connect what you see inside to the path outside, which saves opening walls that do not need it. Tell us when the stain appears, after which storms and from which direction the rain was blowing, because those details narrow the search before anyone climbs a ladder.
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.
Letting the chase dry before it is closed
Wood that stays damp behind new sheathing keeps decaying out of sight, which is why the USDA Forest Products Laboratory ties decay to wood that stays wet. The framing that remains after the rot is cut out has to be dry enough before the wall is closed.
Our pros check the moisture of the framing that stays and replace what is still wet or soft. If the weather turns during the job, the open wall is covered so rain does not undo the work.
