Our Chase Cover Repair Process in Mount Dora
- 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
How Mount Dora Weather Affects Your Chimney
Being away from the coast spares Mount Dora chimneys the salt, but not the water. Central Florida humidity keeps masonry damp, heavy rain tests every joint, and tropical systems occasionally deliver a year of weathering in a single afternoon. What matters here is catching openings while they are still cheap to seal.
Fireplace Use in Mount Dora, and Why It Matters
Central Florida fireplaces get occasional, concentrated use, a cold front arrives, the fireplace runs for a week, then it is idle again. Neither pattern of wear gets caught in time: not enough burning to make creosote obvious, and long enough idle for animals and water to get in unnoticed.
Communities We Cover Around Mount Dora

Wind, Storms and Your Mount Dora Chimney
Mount Dora is far enough inland to avoid the worst wind loading, though storms crossing the peninsula lose less strength than people assume. The chimney is still the most exposed part of the structure, so the cap, crown and upper mortar joints remain the parts worth inspecting before each storm season.

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 Mount Dora and Lake County?
Yes. Chimney Repair Group serves Mount Dora 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 Mount Dora?
Any time outside the few cold weeks of the year. Mount Dora 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 Mount Dora?
Moisture, almost always. Mount Dora 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.
