After-storm chimney work for homes in Flagler Village
Keep the fireplace unlit until it is checked
After a storm, keep the fireplace unlit until the chimney has been looked at. Damage at the top can block the flue, admit water or loosen masonry above the firebox, and none of that shows from the room.
The national standard for chimneys calls for a closer inspection after an event likely to have damaged the chimney. A strong storm can be that kind of event. We check the top, the flue opening and the fireplace below it, then tell you whether the fireplace can be used and what needs repair first.
A cover must never block a working flue
Consumer safety guidance on carbon monoxide warns that appliance vents and chimneys must not be blocked by tarps or debris. That matters after a storm, when covers go onto roofs quickly and in poor light.
If the chimney also vents a water heater or furnace, a cover over its flue could send exhaust back into the house. We check what each flue serves before covering anything. A flue that must stay open gets a different kind of protection, and we explain the choice on the visit.
Chimney and roof repairs in the right order
Storm damage around a chimney often involves both the chimney and the roof covering. The flashing sits between the two, so the order of work matters as much as the work itself.
Roof covering work belongs to your roofer. Our estimate shows the chimney items we cover, including the flashing, and where our work meets theirs. We coordinate the sequence so neither job undoes the other. If the roofer needs the chimney made sound before the roof covering goes back, we plan for that and tell you when each stage can happen.
New water inside after the storm
A new stain on the ceiling or wall near the chimney, or water in the firebox, means water found a way in during the storm. The chimney is often the source, but not always.
Tell us where the water appeared and how much there was. We look for the entry point at the top, the flashing and the masonry face, and inside where we can reach. The source is repaired first. Stained interior finishes are outside our work, and we tell you when the source has been stopped.
How a storm damage estimate is laid out
- Cap and screen condition and fastening
- Masonry and mortar at the top courses
- Interior water entry points noted
- Hose water test when the job calls for it
After the storm, what people ask
What if my roofer also needs to work around the chimney?
We coordinate so the flashing and the roof covering go in the right order. Roof covering work belongs to your roofer. Our estimate shows which chimney items we cover and where the two jobs meet.
Will a new chase cover look like the old one?
It is made to fit the chase and the chimney pipe, with a shape that sheds water, such as cross-breaks and a drip edge. It may look slightly different from a flat old cover, and we explain why before ordering it.
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.
