Weather-tight first, then lasting storm repairs
Multi-flue caps screwed to the crown
A cap that covers several flues is usually fixed to the crown with masonry anchors. Wind catching its broad lid pulls on those anchors, and they can loosen or crack the concrete around them.
After a storm, we check the anchors, the crown around them and the lid itself. If the crown is sound, the cap can often be reset with new anchors in fresh holes. If the crown has cracked at the anchor points, the crown repair comes first. Both are listed on the estimate separately.
If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds after the storm
If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, move everyone outside at once. From outside, call 911, and do not go back in until responders say the house is clear.
After a storm, a damaged cap, a debris-blocked flue or a cover over a working vent can push exhaust back into the house. Consumer safety guidance warns that vents and chimneys must stay clear of tarps and debris. Leave any fuel-burning appliance off until the flue has been checked and the cause found.
Upfront pricing for storm repairs
Storm repairs range from refastening a cap to relaying the top of a chimney. The price depends on which parts were damaged, how much work each needs and how the chimney can be reached safely.
Our pricing is upfront, with no hidden fees. Temporary work and permanent repairs are priced separately, so you can see what each stage costs. If a custom part must be made, its cost is on the estimate. If more damage appears during the work, we explain it and wait for your approval before adding anything.
Comparing storm repair estimates
If you compare estimates after a storm, check what each one covers. One may replace only the cap. Another may include the crown, the flashing and the top courses. Those are very different jobs with different results.
Ask each company whether temporary and permanent work are listed separately. Ask how the new parts will be fastened and what metal they are made of. Ask what happens if more damage appears. Each of those points is answered on our estimate in writing, so the comparison rests on facts rather than guesses.

Storm repair answers, in plain terms
Water came in during the storm but stopped afterward. Why?
Water that appears only with wind from one direction may be entering through the side of the chimney, the flashing or the crown rather than the flue opening. Tell us when it appeared, and we trace the path before choosing a repair.
Do you clean up the chimney debris after storm repairs?
Yes. Debris from the damaged chimney and from our work is cleaned up and hauled away. If the work runs over more than one day, an open chimney is covered at the close of each work day.
What should I tell you when I call after a storm?
Describe what you see from the ground, what changed inside, such as water or debris in the fireplace, and when you noticed it. Mention whether the chimney is masonry or a metal flue in a framed chase.
