Storm repairs for the whole chimney top

Checking the chimney top as a set after a storm

After a strong storm, a chimney top is checked as a set. The cap and its screen, the chase cover and storm collar, the crown, the flashing and the masonry or siding all take the same wind. Damage to one part often means stress on the others.

We look at each part in turn and note what moved, bent or cracked. Checking them together avoids a common pattern. One visible repair is made, and a second opening that nobody looked at leaks with the next rain. The estimate lists each part and its condition.

Storm debris cleaned up and hauled away

A damaged chimney top leaves debris in the yard, on the roof and sometimes in the fireplace. The repair adds old mortar, bent metal and packaging of its own.

We clean up the storm debris from the chimney and the debris our work creates, and we haul it away. That includes fragments on the roof, pieces in the gutters near the chimney and anything that fell into the firebox. The area below the chimney and the fireplace are left clear when we finish.

What you can see from the attic side

If your attic is safe to enter, the area around the chimney can show where water came in. Look for wet wood, stained sheathing or damp insulation next to the chimney or chase.

Do not step off the framing or move insulation around a metal flue. A flashlight view is enough. Tell us what you saw, and we check the same area during the visit. The attic view often shows whether the water came through the flashing or down the chimney itself.

Factory-built chimneys after a storm

A factory-built chimney is a listed system of pipe, collars, caps and chase-top parts. Its maker's instructions say not to mix in parts from other systems, because the listing covers the tested parts together.

After a storm, damaged sections, a bent cap or a torn storm collar are replaced with parts the manufacturer lists. We read the label on the fireplace or chimney to identify the system. If a part is no longer available, we explain the options before any work starts.

Storm repair answers, in plain terms

Can loose pieces of a damaged chimney top fall?

Loose top courses or a shifted cap can fall, especially in the next strong wind. Keep people and vehicles away from the area below the chimney, and do not use the fireplace. Tell us what you see when you call.

How long before permanent storm repairs are finished?

It depends on the damage, the materials and the weather. The chimney is made weather-tight before anything else. Permanent repairs follow on the schedule we agree, and the estimate shows the order they happen in.

Are storm repairs covered by a warranty?

Our workmanship warranty covers the repairs we carry out. If one of those repairs gives way, call us and we return to check it. Temporary covers are not permanent repairs, and we explain what they are meant to do.
