Chase cover replacement in Old Northwood swaps a rusted galvanized lid for a sloped stainless or copper one that actually sheds water on a framed chimney.
Why stainless or copper, sized to the chase
We measure the chase and fabricate a cover with a built-in slope and a collar that sheds water away from the seams. In 316 stainless or copper it outlives galvanized by decades inside the salt-air line.
- Custom-fabricated to your chase dimensions
- Sloped to drain, with a sealed flue collar
- 316 stainless or copper for coastal exposure
- Replaces the rust-through that caused the leak
Why chase cover replacement matters in Old Northwood
Once a galvanized chase cover has rusted through, sealing it only buys time — a sloped stainless or copper replacement is what actually keeps water out of the framed chase for good.
Old Northwood — 1920s frame cottages and bungalows north of the historic district — sits inland of the open coast, so while it is spared the worst of the salt air, the South Florida basics still drive every chase cover replacement: year-round humidity that keeps masonry damp long after rain, and hurricane-season wind that opens crown and flashing gaps overnight. We run the same route across Old Northwood and the wider West Palm Beach area, including South End West Palm Beach and Downtown West Palm Beach.
What affects the cost of chase cover replacement in Old Northwood
Cost tracks the chase dimensions and the metal chosen — galvanized is cheapest up front, but 316 stainless or copper is what survives the salt-air line.
