- 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 crown and mortar joints for the moisture damage that inland the Treasure Coast humidity causes
How Okeechobee Weather Affects Your Chimney
Being away from the coast spares Okeechobee chimneys the salt, but not the water. the Treasure Coast 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.
How Okeechobee Homeowners Use Their Fireplaces
In the Treasure Coast, a fireplace might be used a dozen evenings a year. Long idle stretches let moisture, nesting animals and debris accumulate quietly, so the first fire of the season is often when a Okeechobee homeowner discovers a draft problem or a smell that has been developing for months.
Communities We Cover Around Okeechobee
The towns closest to Okeechobee do not all face the same conditions: within a short drive thedistance to open water changes enough that one home is fighting salt corrosion on caps and flashing while another is dealing with plain rainwater. We provide chase cover repair across all of them, Port St. Lucie West, Port St. Lucie, Pahokee, Moore Haven, Lake Placid, Fort Pierce North, and what we check first depends on which side of that line you are on.
Wind, Storms and Your Okeechobee Chimney
Okeechobee 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 Okeechobee and Okeechobee County?
Yes. Chimney Repair Group serves Okeechobee and the rest of Okeechobee 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 Okeechobee?
Any time outside the few cold weeks of the year. Okeechobee 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 Okeechobee?
Moisture, almost always. Okeechobee is inland enough to avoid salt corrosion, but the Treasure Coast's humidity and heavy summer storms keep masonry damp, soften mortar joints, and work water into cracked crowns over time.
