What chimney restoration involves at your home
A written record of the work we did
When the job is finished, you receive a written record of the work. It lists the parts repaired and the materials used, so the finished work is described in one place. That record is useful the next time someone looks at the chimney, whether for maintenance, a sale or a later repair.
Store it with your estimate and any appliance manuals. If a problem appears later in the same area, the record shows what was done and where. It also helps you explain the chimney's history to a buyer, a home inspector or another contractor without relying on memory.
Loose fasteners on caps and covers
Caps, chase covers and flashing depend on screws, anchors and clips to stay in place. Wind, rust and repeated movement can loosen them until a part rattles, shifts or lifts at one edge.
A loose part is usually a simple repair when caught early. We check each fastener we can reach and replace missing or corroded ones to suit the part's instructions. If the part itself is damaged beyond refastening, replacement becomes a separate line for you to decide. Either way, you see the condition of the part before choosing.
Scratching, nests and debris in the flue
Scratching sounds, twigs in the firebox or droppings on the damper suggest an animal has found its way into the flue. A missing or damaged cap is the usual way in.
Keep the damper closed and do not light a fire to drive anything out. Chimney animal removal covers identifying what is there and removing it where the law allows. The damaged cap or screen is then repaired or replaced as part of the chimney repair scope. Any nesting material left in the flue is cleared before the fireplace is used again.
What we ask when you call from Shorecrest
When you call about chimney damage in Shorecrest, we ask a few questions before booking. What did you notice, where, and when did it start? Is the fireplace in use, and does anything else vent into the chimney?
We also ask about roof access, pets and any urgent risk, such as falling masonry. Those answers help us plan the visit and decide whether the matter should go to the 24/7 emergency line instead. Nothing you say on the call commits you to a repair.

Your chimney damage questions
Should I keep using the fireplace until the chimney is repaired?
That depends on what was found. If we advise you to stop, keep the fireplace out of use until the repair is complete. Damage that is only cosmetic may not affect use, and we tell you which case applies.
What does the workmanship warranty cover after a chimney repair?
It stands behind the repair work we agreed and completed. Parts of the chimney we did not work on fall outside it, which is why the estimate and the written record describe each repaired area clearly.
Does a chimney I no longer use still need repairs?
If it is damaged, yes. An unused chimney still sheds rain around its top and at the roof junction. Loose masonry or an open joint can let water into the house whether or not a fire is ever lit.
