Property-Specific Scope

Inspection separates an isolated cover or flashing problem from damage to the chase cladding, sheathing, framing, or chimney system before the repair scope and estimate are prepared.

Factory-built, wood-frame chases are common on newer homes throughout Edgewater's subdivisions inland from the Indian River, wrapping around a metal flue rather than being solid masonry all the way up. These chases are usually covered in siding, stucco, or metal, and each of those materials has its own way of failing after years in the Florida sun and rain.

Why Edgewater Homes Need Chimney Chase Repair

Volusia County's heat causes siding and chase covers to expand and contract repeatedly, loosening seams and fasteners over time, while summer storms drive rain against the chase from angles a dry-season glance wouldn't reveal. Once water gets behind the chase covering, it can sit against the wood framing and metal flue components without ever being visible from the yard.

We check the chase cover, corner seams, top cap, and the flashing where it meets the roof, since chase leaks almost always start at a seam or fastener point rather than through the flat surface itself. Repairs might involve resealing seams, replacing a damaged chase cover, or addressing rot in the framing underneath, all handled with an eye toward keeping the whole assembly weathertight going forward.

We're a family-owned team, and Edgewater homeowners appreciate that we'll open things up, show you what's actually happening inside the chase, and give you a straightforward written estimate before any work begins. We can often schedule an assessment same-day. If your chase cover looks dented, gapped, or discolored, it's worth having us take a look before it gets worse.

Chimney Chase Repair in Edgewater: Common Questions

What is a chimney chase?

On a prefabricated (factory-built) fireplace, the chase is the framed, sided box that encloses the metal flue, topped with a metal chase cover. It's common in newer Florida homes and behaves differently from a solid masonry chimney.

Why is my chase cover rusting?

Many builder-grade chase covers are thin metal that pools water and rusts over time, especially in Florida's rain and humidity. Once it rusts through, water runs into the chase. We replace it with a properly-sloped cover that drains and lasts.

Is chase repair different from masonry chimney repair?

Yes. A chase is a framed-and-sided structure with a metal cover, not brick and mortar, so it's repaired differently. If you have a prefab fireplace, chase and chase-cover work is usually what you need rather than masonry repair.

Do you serve Edgewater and the surrounding area?

Yes, Chimney Brothers Co is a local, family-owned team serving Edgewater and the rest of Volusia County. Call (645) 224-9996 and we'll confirm we cover your ZIP and set a time that works.

What rules apply to a factory-built (metal) chimney inside a chase?

Factory-built chimneys must be listed to UL 103 and must be installed and terminated in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions, per IRC section R1005. Clearance to combustibles is whatever the listing specifies rather than a single universal number, and for a factory-built chimney serving a fireplace that is commonly a 2-inch airspace to combustible construction and insulation. Because the clearance, the allowable offsets, the required support spacing and the approved termination cap are all part of the listing, mixing brands or substituting a cap voids the listing. The same rule governs how the chase top, firestops and enclosure are built around it. Source: International Residential Code section R1005, Factory-built chimneys; UL 103

What is the High Velocity Hurricane Zone and what wind speeds apply to it?

The High Velocity Hurricane Zone covers Miami-Dade and Broward counties only, and Florida Building Code Section 1620.2 sets the design wind velocity (3-second gust) for a Risk Category II building, which includes a typical single-family home, at 175 mph in Miami-Dade and 170 mph in Broward. Risk Category I is 165 mph in Miami-Dade and 156 mph in Broward, with higher values for Risk Categories III and IV. All buildings are treated as Exposure Category C unless Exposure Category D applies under ASCE 7 Section 26.7. Anything projecting above a roof in those two counties, a chimney included, is being designed against those numbers.
