- Measure the chase top, outside dimensions, flue locations and pipe diameters

- Fabricate the cover to those measurements
- Remove the old cover and address any framing damage found underneath
- Check the cap, damper and flashing for the early salt corrosion common this close to the coast
How Fort Myers Beach Weather Affects Your Chimney
Homes in Fort Myers Beach sit close to the water, where humid air, heavy seasonal rain, and salt carried off the water are tough on chimney systems. Salt air accelerates rust on metal components like caps, dampers, and flashing, while wind-driven rain and tropical storms work moisture into mortar joints and crowns. Catching that wear early is the key to avoiding leaks and costly masonry damage.
Fireplace Use in Fort Myers Beach, and Why It Matters
In Southwest Florida, treat the chimney as part of the roof rather than as a heating appliance. That is genuinely what it is here: an exposed masonry structure with a metal lid, taking sun, salt and storms year-round, whose failures show up as leaks and stains rather than as smoke.
Communities We Cover Around Fort Myers Beach
Fort Myers Beach sits in the orbit of Cape Coral, and homes here tend to share itsconstruction eras rather than those of the smaller towns further out. We cover the whole surrounding area for chase cover repair, Cape Coral, Sanibel, Estero, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, Naples, so a visit to Fort Myers Beach is rarely a special trip.
Wind, Storms and Your Fort Myers Beach Chimney
Wind is a bigger factor for Fort Myers Beach chimneys than most homeowners expect. Near the coast, gusts hit the chimney before anything else on the roof, working at a loose cap or an already-cracked crown. Checking the top of the stack ahead of storm season is far cheaper than dealing with what a lifted cap lets in afterwards.

What is a chimney chase cover?
It is the metal pan covering the top of a framed chimney chase, the box clad in siding, stucco or brick veneer that houses the flue pipe from a factory-built fireplace. It is the only barrier between the weather and the wood framing inside the chase, which is why a failed one causes damage well beyond the cover itself.
Why are there rust streaks running down my chimney?
Rain is running across a rusting galvanized chase cover and carrying the rust down the siding. The streaks are the visible symptom; the actual problem is that water is entering the chase. It is the most reliable sign that a cover has already failed rather than is about to.
Can a rusted chase cover be repaired instead of replaced?
Usually not worth it. Galvanized steel corrodes from the underside as well, so patching a hole or coating the surface leaves the process running and the next leak appears elsewhere on the same pan. Repair makes sense when a sound stainless pan has a failed storm collar, a lifted skirt or degraded corner sealant.

Yes. Chimney Repair Group serves Fort Myers Beach and the rest of Lee County. Call us at (888) 882-2070 for prompt scheduling and a free estimate on chase cover repair.
When is the best time of year for chase cover repair in Fort Myers Beach?
There is no burning season to work around in Fort Myers Beach, fireplaces here are rarely lit. What matters instead is the weather cycle: having the chimney looked at before the summer storm season is more useful than waiting for winter.
What causes most chimney problems in Fort Myers Beach?
Salt air and water. Being near the coast, Fort Myers Beach chimneys lose metal components first, caps, dampers and flashing corrode faster than inland, and wind-driven rain then finds its way through whatever gap that opens up.
