Signs You May Need Chimney Chase Repair
A chimney chase is the framed box that hides the metal flue of a factory-built fireplace. It is built like a small wall of the house: studs, sheathing, and siding or stucco. When water gets in from the top or through the siding, the wood rots and the chase starts to lean, swell or stain.
- Soft or swollen siding on the chase
- Stains running down the chase
- Stucco cracking on a framed chase
- A chase that leans or pulls from the house
- Water in the firebox of a prefab fireplace
How a chase rots
Most chase damage starts at the top. A chase cover that has rusted or sagged flat lets water drip down inside the box, soaking the framing for years before anything shows outside. Siding joints, trim and the flashing where the chase meets the roof are the next weak points. By the time the siding feels soft, the wood behind it may be badly decayed.
Chimney chase framing and siding repair
We remove the damaged siding or stucco, cut out rotted framing and sheathing, and rebuild with new lumber, sheathing and weather barrier. Clearances to the metal flue are kept as the fireplace maker requires. The chase is then closed with siding or stucco matched to the house, and the top is finished with a new chase cover. A wood chimney chase repair on a badly rotted box can turn into a full chimney chase rebuild, which we would show you before quoting.
Stucco chimney chase repair
On a stucco chase, cracks and stains often hide wet framing. We open a test area before quoting the full job, so the estimate reflects what is behind the finish, and refinish the repaired section to blend with the rest.
