Our Chase Cover Repair Process in Leesburg
- Inspect the cover, storm collar, seams and fasteners to identify every entry point
- Check the chase interior and top plate for existing water damage and rot
- Measure the chase top, outside dimensions, flue locations and pipe diameters
- Present a written estimate stating material, gauge, skirt depth and what is included
- Fabricate the cover to those measurements
- Remove the old cover and address any framing damage found underneath
- Check crown and mortar joints for the moisture damage that inland Central Florida humidity causes
Local Climate & Your Chimney in Leesburg
Although Leesburg sits inland, away from the worst of the salt air, Central Florida’s high humidity, intense summer downpours, and tropical-storm season still take a steady toll on chimneys. Moisture works into cracked crowns and worn mortar joints, and small openings let water into the structure. Routine inspection and prompt repair keep that damage from spreading.
What That Means for Chimneys in Leesburg
The Leesburg pattern is a few cold weeks and then nothing for eleven months. That gap is the problem: a chimney sitting unused still collects leaves, nesting material and moisture, and none of it announces itself until someone lights the first fire of the year and the room fills with smoke.

What Storm Season Means in Leesburg
Inland Lake County sees lower design wind speeds than the coast, but tropical systems still reach Leesburg with enough force to find a weakness at the top of a chimney. A cap that is merely resting in place, or a crown that has already cracked, is what turns a passing storm into water inside the house.

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.
Do you provide chase cover repair throughout Leesburg and Lake County?
Yes. Chimney Repair Group serves Leesburg and the rest of Lake 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 Leesburg?
Any time outside the few cold weeks of the year. Leesburg fireplaces run only for occasional cold fronts, so the practical approach is a check during the warmer months when scheduling is easy, rather than discovering a problem on the first cold night.
What causes most chimney problems in Leesburg?
Moisture, almost always. Leesburg is inland enough to avoid salt corrosion, but Central Florida's humidity and heavy summer storms keep masonry damp, soften mortar joints, and work water into cracked crowns over time.
