The main issue with chimney chases is they are often added to the home last, so they often miss flashing, weather-resistant barriers, and sometimes the siding is nailed right to the framing. Another issue chimney chases face is the construction is not to the same standard as the rest of the house. Due to this, it’s easy for water to enter the structure and cause dry rot to form.

Keep The Rain Out Of Your Chimney

Chimney chases connect to many of the different home systems, the siding, the foundation, the roofing, the internal ducting, etc. So, it is of the utmost importance you hire a contractor who can repair all of these issues. Roof flashing issues can lead to dry rot, and that can lead to siding and framing issues.
