Putting a storm-damaged chimney right

Our workmanship warranty on storm repairs

The storm repairs we complete are covered by our workmanship warranty. If a repair we carried out does not perform as it should, contact us and we come back to check it.

The written record of the work names each part we repaired or replaced, so it is clear which work the warranty relates to. A temporary cover is described on the estimate for what it is, a short-term measure. Ask us to explain the warranty terms for your job before you approve the work.

The first heavy rain after the repair

After a storm repair, the next heavy rain is a real test. Check the places where water appeared before, such as the ceiling near the chimney, the firebox and the attic side if you can reach it safely.

If water shows again, tell us straight away. A second entry point sometimes hides behind the first, especially with wind-driven rain from a different direction. We return to trace it and explain what we find. That follow-up is part of making sure the repair actually stopped the water rather than only the stain.

A top-mount damper after a storm

Some chimneys have a damper mounted at the top of the flue, with a lid worked by a cable from the room. Strong wind and debris can bend the lid, snap the spring or damage the cable.

We check whether the lid still closes and opens fully and whether the cable works from the room. A bent lid can let rain in. Repairs or replacement parts come from the damper maker's range. If the damper cannot be put right, we explain the options.

Interior finishes stained by the leak

A leak during a storm can stain drywall, plaster or a ceiling near the chimney. Those interior finishes are outside our work, although the stain is often what prompts the call.

We repair the chimney source of the water and tell you when it has been stopped. Let the interior finish dry fully before it is repaired, so the stain does not come back through new paint. We note on the record of the work where the water entered, which helps whoever repairs the finish understand what happened.

What the after-storm inspection checks

  • Flashing and counter flashing check
  • Permanent repairs listed item by item
  • Flashing reset or replaced
  • Listed parts for factory-built chimneys

After the storm, what people ask

Can you say whether the storm caused the damage?

We describe the condition we find and what it suggests. Appearance alone does not always show when damage happened, so we keep older wear apart from fresh damage on the estimate and do not go beyond what we can see.

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.

Can storm damage affect a chimney that vents a water heater?

Yes. A chimney can vent other appliances as well as a fireplace. If its top or flue was damaged, those appliances may not vent properly. Tell us what the chimney serves, and we check the flue that carries their exhaust.
