Family-Owned & Local

A local Florida team that treats your home like our own and stands behind the work.

Many homes around Sebring, especially newer construction with factory-built fireplaces, use a metal or wood-framed chimney chase covered in siding or stucco rather than a full masonry stack, and that chase has its own set of failure points. We regularly repair chase covers that have rusted or warped, siding that's pulled away at the seams, and the chase pan at the top that's supposed to keep water out but has corroded or shifted out of place.

Why Sebring Homes Need Chimney Chase Repair

Sebring's combination of intense heat, humidity, and heavy seasonal rain is tough on the metal and seams that make up a chase system, chase covers rust through faster than most homeowners expect, and expansion and contraction from daily heat cycles works joints and seals loose over time. Once water gets behind the siding or through a failed chase pan, it can sit against wood framing for a long time before it becomes visible as a stain or soft spot inside.

We inspect the chase cover, the seams where it meets the siding, and the pan underneath to find where water is actually getting in, since chase problems often hide behind the visible exterior. Repairs might mean replacing a rusted chase cover with a new galvanized or stainless one, resealing seams, or addressing the pan itself. We also check the framing behind the chase for any damage the leak may have already caused.

Sebring homeowners with these factory-built systems often haven't had anyone look at the chase since the home was built, and as a family-owned company we take the time to actually explain what we find rather than rushing to a bid. You'll get a written estimate before any work begins. If your chase cover looks rusted or you've noticed a stain near the fireplace, reach out and we'll take a look.

Chimney Chase Repair in Sebring — 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 Sebring and the surrounding area?

Yes — Chimney Brothers Co is a local, family-owned team serving Sebring and the rest of Highlands 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

Does salt air near the coast change what materials should be used on a chimney?

Yes, and the Florida Building Code recognizes it by grade. Florida Building Code, Residential sections R905.7.6.1.1 and R905.8.7.1.1 call for Type 304 stainless steel ring-shank nails for wood shingles and shakes, and specifically Type 316 for coastal areas. Type 316 stainless contains molybdenum and resists chloride attack better than Type 304, which is why it is the coastal specification. The same chloride exposure attacks every metal component on a chimney: the cap and spark arrestor screen, the counter flashing, the storm collar, the chase cover and a stainless liner. Galvanized steel components in particular have a short service life within sight of salt water. Source: Florida Building Code, Residential sections R905.7.6.1.1 and R905.8.7.1.1

How much does chase repair cost in Sebring?

Chase work is priced by component: a new chase cover sits in the $150–$500 cap-and-cover band and flashing repair runs $200–$600, with structural or stucco repairs to the chase quoted after inspection. What a specific Sebring job costs comes down to chimney height, roof access and pitch, and the condition of the crown and flashing, so we give a free on-site estimate with upfront pricing before any work begins.
