How Our Pros Repair Chimney Chases in Town 'n' Country
Chase repairs booked within 72 hours of the free inspection are 10% off. Here is how our specialists keep the new wood dry.
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.
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.
What to tell our pros when you call about a chase
A few details help plan the visit. Tell us when you first saw the damage, whether water shows up inside after storms, whether the fireplace burns wood or gas and roughly how old the chase cover is if you know. Earlier patches, paint jobs or roof work around the chase are useful too, because they can hide or explain what we find.
You do not need to measure anything or climb up to look. Our local, family-owned team handles that during the free inspection and walks you through the findings, with upfront pricing for every line of the repair.
Choosing the siding for a repaired chase
Where the house allows it, some owners replace wood chase siding with fiber cement or another rot-resistant product. Each option has its own installation rules, finish and look, and the choice should suit the rest of the house.
Our pros lay out the siding options that match your home, with an upfront price for each, and install the one you choose to its maker's instructions.
