Storm damage work, explained in order
If you smell gas after the storm
If you smell gas inside after a storm, get everyone out of the house straight away. From outside, call your gas utility or 911 and wait for them to clear the house. Leave light switches and appliances exactly as they are while you go.
Storm damage can affect gas lines and vents, and that danger has to be dealt with by the utility or responders before anything else. Chimney repairs come later, once the house has been declared safe. Nobody should go back inside to fetch belongings, open windows or look for the source.
Keeping the chimney top at its proper height
Under the building code, a chimney has to finish a set height above the roof and above anything close to it. When the top courses are rebuilt after a storm, the new top has to meet that rule as well.
We check the height before and after the work. If the chimney was lower than it should have been before the storm, we explain what that means and the options for putting it right. The rebuilt top is finished with a crown and cap that suit it, and the height is noted on the written record of the work.
Roof covering around the chimney
Wind can tear or lift shingles, tiles or other roof covering around a chimney. That damage lets water reach the roof deck even when the chimney itself came through the storm sound.
We note any roof covering damage near the chimney. Its repair belongs to your roofer, and we coordinate with them so the flashing goes on in the right order. Our estimate lists the chimney work and names the roof covering item, so it is not forgotten between the two trades. You then know who handles each part.
The HVHZ and work on a chimney top
The Florida Building Code places Broward County inside its HVHZ, a zone with its own wind provisions. Construction there follows those HVHZ provisions, including the ones for roofing and exterior work.
For storm repairs, that can affect how flashing and roof-side work are done and which materials are used. Ask us which provisions apply to the flashing or roof work on your job. We explain what they mean for the repair and how the work will be carried out, and where your roofer needs to confirm details on their side.

Questions about wind-damaged chimneys
A tree limb hit the chimney. Can you help?
Once the limb has been removed safely, yes. Leave large limbs to a tree service. We then check the masonry, crown, cap and flashing where it struck and list each repair separately.
Is same-day storm repair available?
Same-day visits are available when the schedule allows and the roof is safe to reach. A temporary cover can often go on during that visit. Permanent repairs are scheduled once the extent of the damage is known.
What does the free storm inspection cover?
We check the cap and screen, chase cover and storm collar, crown, flashing, top courses and any chase siding. Inside, we look at the firebox, damper and signs of water. You get the findings and a free written estimate.
