This chimney chase removal and venting upgrade project in Merton, WI involved the complete teardown of an aging chimney chase while ensuring the home’s roof and structure remained fully protected throughout the process. To safely access the work area, Fox River Home Improvements installed scaffolding and implemented protective roofing measures before beginning demolition.
The existing chimney veneer and chase structure were carefully dismantled after the flue system was stabilized and the base was reinforced within the home. Once the chase was removed, our team converted the venting system to accommodate a B-vent gas insert, providing a more efficient and streamlined solution for the homeowner.
As part of the installation, new flue piping was installed along with a properly fitted roof boot, flashing, ice and water shield, and matching shingles to create a durable, weather-tight seal. These upgrades help protect the home from water intrusion while maintaining the appearance and integrity of the roof.
To complete the project, an attic box-out was constructed to provide the proper clearances required by the manufacturer and current safety standards. The finished chimney chase removal in Merton, WI eliminated a deteriorating structure, improved the home’s venting system, and delivered a clean, professional finish designed for long-term performance and reliability.
