Why is the wood on my chimney rotting?
Water is getting in from above, almost always through a rusted chase cover, sometimes failed flashing or a missing cap. The exterior wood sits directly beneath whatever is failing at the top, fully exposed, so it is usually the first visible sign that a chase has a water problem.
How far does the rot usually extend?
Further than it looks. By the time wood is soft on the surface, decay has typically travelled along the grain past the visibly damaged area. Cutting back only to where it appears sound leaves compromised material in place and the repair fails again at that joint, which is why probing beyond the obvious damage matters.
Does the framing behind need checking too?
Yes, and before new material goes on. Exterior wood is the outer layer; behind it are sheathing and structural framing, and if water got through long enough to rot the outside it has reached them. Discovering soft framing after new siding is fitted means taking it back off, so the check belongs at the start.
