Many homes in and around Auburndale — especially in the newer subdivisions that have filled in around the older core of this Polk County city — use a factory-built fireplace inside a wood-framed, metal-clad chase rather than a traditional all-masonry chimney. That chase cover and the siding around it are only as good as their seams and fasteners, and once those start to fail, water finds its way straight down into the framing.

Why Auburndale Homes Need Chimney Chase Repair
Central Florida's rainy season puts a chase through a real test year after year, with wind-driven storms hitting the sides of the structure and not just the top. A chase that's slightly out of level or has a worn sealant joint will let water track down behind the metal cover or siding, where it can sit against the framing in the region's high humidity far longer than it would in a drier climate. That's often how a small gap turns into rot or rust before anyone notices from inside the house.
We check the chase cover for rust, gaps, and improper slope, along with the seams where it meets the siding below. If the cover itself is undersized or poorly sealed, we replace it with a properly fitted metal cover with a real drip edge, resealing all the seams and fastener points. When the siding or trim around the chase has already taken on water damage, we address that material too, rather than covering it back up and hoping.
Homeowners in Auburndale generally want a crew that understands factory-built systems as well as traditional masonry, which is where our family-owned team's range comes in handy. We give a written estimate before any work starts and can often knock out a chase repair same day. If your chase cover looks rusted or loose, give us a call.
