Cap diameter on a Lake Park flue or chase
Originally founded as Kelsey City and incorporated in 1923 directly on the Lake Worth Lagoon, Lake Park's older masonry chimneys take steady salt-air exposure, which accelerates mortar joint erosion and metal damper and flashing corrosion that inland towns rarely face.
Lake Park — Kelsey City historic district; the Intracoastal waterfront; the Intracoastal waterfront on the Lake Worth Lagoon.
Lake Park caps are sized on the flue or chase at the Kelsey City historic district address, not guessed from the ZIP. You approve a written proposal for the Intracoastal waterfront address before anyone orders parts or opens masonry.
Near-coastal streets around the Intracoastal waterfront can see more metal wear than lots farther west; the proposal still names the part at that address rather than a city-wide alloy.
