Animals getting in through the top
Hearing scratching inside the chase? A rusted-through chase cover, or a gap where it no longer meets the chase edge, gives animals a way into the chase and sometimes down to the fireplace.
Nothing gets sealed until our pros have found every hole and gap in the cover and made sure the chase is empty. If something is, our animal removal specialists handle that first. Then the new cover goes on, fitted tight to the chase edge. Nothing is sealed in, and the new cover fits tight on every edge. Reserve a chase check for the noises in East Bronson by phoning (352) 675-6366.
About 21 miles, measured point to point, lie between East Bronson and the Gainesville reference point. Our specialists serve East Bronson as part of Levy County.

Local Conditions
Chases on homes being reroofed
If a new roof is going on your home in East Bronson, the chase cover is easiest to replace while the roofers are flashing around the chase base. Our pros coordinate with your roofer, so the chase is sealed top and bottom in one project and the quote shows who does what. Base flashing and cover are finished together. The quote splits the work clearly.
How It Works
Four stops from measure to storm collar
-
Check lid and box
The cover, collar, storm collar and cap are looked over first, along with the framing beneath.
-
Measure and order
The chase top is measured on every side, and the cover is made with slope and collars.
-
Fit and fasten
Soft framing is repaired, and the new cover is set, fastened through the sides and sealed.
-
Seal and cap
The storm collar is sealed to the maker's instructions and the listed cap goes back on.

Caulk around the pipe isn't the fix
It's tempting to caulk the pipe tight to the collar and call it done. Majestic's instructions warn against caulking the chimney pipe to the chase top collar, since the pipe needs to move as it heats and some systems rely on air moving around it.
The storm collar is what sheds water from that gap, and it's sealed to the pipe the way the chimney maker describes.
Our specialists follow each maker's instructions for which joints get sealant and which stay open. Sealing the wrong gap can damage the chimney, so the manual for your model is read before any caulk comes out.
Keeping animals out of the chase
A rusted hole in the cover, a gap at the edge or a missing storm collar can give animals a sheltered route into the chase. From there, some find their way down toward the fireplace.
Before a new cover goes on, our pros make sure nothing is nesting in the chase, since sealing it up with an animal inside creates a bigger problem. If something is there, our animal removal specialists deal with it first.
The new cover then fits tight on every edge, and the listed cap on the pipe keeps the flue itself closed to them. Nothing gets sealed inside.
Telling the cover from the cap
Factory-built chimneys have a chase cover and a chimney cap, separate parts that fail separately. The cover is the flat sheet on top of the framed box; the cap is the listed hood on the pipe.
Rust streaks on the siding and water inside the chase point to the cover. Rain coming straight down the pipe, a missing screen or smoke problems point to the cap.
Both parts get a look on every visit and a price on their own lines, so you don't pay to replace a sound part while the failing one keeps leaking.

FAQs
Asked about chase covers in East Bronson
Can you fit a new cover on the same day?
Chase covers are made to measure, so the first visit measures and the second fits. If the chase is leaking now, our pros can cover the top in the meantime.
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.
