What's covered in a Prospect Park chase cover repair job
On Prospect Park 33405 homes, the job runs like this. A flat or poorly-sloped galvanized cover holds water, and on the coast salt air rusts it through in a few years. We reseal seams and penetrations, and where it is too far gone we recommend a sloped stainless or copper replacement. This close to Lake Worth Lagoon (the Intracoastal) on the district's eastern boundary, that means assuming salt-air corrosion on every exposed metal part — cap, flashing, and damper. Catch it early on a Prospect Park home and it stays a tidy repair; let a season or two pass and the same problem usually pulls in the surrounding masonry.
- Proper slope added so water runs off
