Fastening the new cover properly

In wind, a chase cover has to stay put, and it's fastened into the wooden chase framing through its turned-down edge. Fasteners that rust, or ones driven into soft wood, let the cover lift and the edges open.

Our pros fasten new covers with corrosion-resistant screws suited to the framing, placed through the side of the turndown where water won't sit on them, and seal the joints. If the framing under the edge is soft, it's repaired first so the fasteners have something solid to hold. Reserve a securely fastened chase cover in Bronson by phoning (352) 675-6366.

Local Conditions

Wood chases and rot

A chase on a home in Bronson is wood framing covered in siding, and water from a failing cover rots it from the cap down. Our specialists probe the top of the framing on every chase job and price any repair, so the new cover is fastened into solid wood. Soft wood near the top is replaced before anything new is fastened to it.

Why a chase cover needs slope

A flat piece of sheet metal on top of a chase holds water in every low spot, and standing water is what rusts a cover through. The chimney maker's instructions call for the top to slope away from the pipe opening, with Majestic giving a minimum of a quarter inch per foot.

Our pros have new covers built with that slope, using a raised center, diagonal breaks or a pitched shape, so water runs toward the edges and off the drip.

A cover that sheds water dries quickly after rain, and a dry cover lasts far longer than one that sits in a puddle.

Seating and sealing the storm collar

Clamped around the pipe just above the chase cover's collar, the storm collar flares out like a skirt so water runs off it onto the cover instead of down the gap.

Chimney makers describe sliding it down snug and sealing it with waterproof caulk, with Superior sealing it where it meets the pipe and Majestic sealing it to the pipe and to the chase top, while leaving ventilation openings clear.

Our pros seat and seal the storm collar to the instructions for your chimney system. A slipped or cracked storm collar is a common leak point, and it's priced separately from the cover.

Chase covers and a new roof

A reroof is a good time to deal with the chase. The roofers will be flashing around the base of the chase, and replacing a rusting cover at the same time means the whole chase is sealed top and bottom in one project.

Our pros coordinate with your roofer so the cover goes on while the roof is being worked on, and they check that the flashing at the chase base ties in behind the siding correctly.

The quote splits the work between the chimney side and the roofing side, so each trade knows exactly what's theirs. One project, one cleanup.

FAQs

Chase top questions we hear

Should I choose galvanized or stainless?

Galvanized costs less and lasts well if it slopes and sheds water. Stainless costs more, lasts much longer and doesn't need painting. Our specialists price both.

Why did my old cover rust through?

It was probably flat, so water sat on it, or its coating wore through at seams and fastener holes. New covers from our pros slope water off to the edges.
