How we handle a chimney after a storm
Pieces of chimney in the yard
Brick fragments, mortar or metal in the yard after a storm may well have come from the chimney top. They show that something up there has moved, cracked or come apart.
Keep people and pets away from the area below the chimney, since more pieces may follow. Leave the fragments where they are if it is safe to do so. They help us see what failed. When we finish the repair, storm debris and the old material are cleaned up and hauled away.
Saving on storm repairs of any size
Save 10% on storm damage work you approve within 72 hours of your free inspection, whether it is a refastened cap or a relaid chimney top.
The inspection and the written estimate are free either way. The price you see covers the agreed work, with no hidden fees added later. If you want time to talk it over with others in the household or to compare estimates, take it. The choice of what to book, and when, stays with you. Ask us to walk through the estimate line by line if that helps.
A second look at a storm damage diagnosis
If another company has already assessed the storm damage, you are welcome to ask for our view. We check the chimney top ourselves and tell you plainly whether we agree with what you were told.
Sometimes the damage is less than feared, and a refastened cap is all that is needed. Sometimes more parts are affected than first noticed. Either way, our free inspection gives you an independent view, written down, to weigh against the first opinion. The decision stays with you.
Custom chase covers measured on site
Chase covers are usually made to measure. The chase size, the pipe opening, the skirt height and the collar all have to fit the chase they sit on, and no two chases are quite alike.
We measure on site and order the cover to those measurements, with a shape that sheds water. While it is being made, the chase is protected with a temporary cover. When the new cover arrives, it is fastened and sealed as the chimney maker's instructions describe, and the temporary cover is removed and hauled away.

Questions about wind-damaged chimneys
Why check the whole chimney top if only the cap came off?
Wind that lifts a cap often loosens other parts too. The crown, flashing, chase cover and top courses can be damaged without showing from the ground. Checking them together avoids a second leak after the next storm.
Do you replace chimney caps torn off by the wind?
Yes. The new cap is sized to the flue and fastened to the manufacturer's instructions. If the old cap failed at its fasteners, we explain what will hold the new one more securely.
Does storm repair include clearing debris from the flue?
Clearing storm debris that blocks the flue, damper or smoke shelf is part of making the chimney safe to use. If the flue also needs a full sweep, that is listed as a separate service with its own price.
