Storm damage work, explained in order
A family-owned team after the storm
We are a family-owned, locally owned company. The people who inspect your chimney after a storm explain what they found, part by part, before any repair is agreed.
After a storm, many things around the house need attention at once. We try to make the chimney part clear and simple: what happened to it, what it needs and in what order. If you want to see a damaged part before it is replaced, we show you. If a question comes up later, you know who to ask, and you get a straight answer.
Keeping the chimney top at its proper height
Under the building code, a chimney has to finish a set height above the roof and above anything close to it. When the top courses are rebuilt after a storm, the new top has to meet that rule as well.
We check the height before and after the work. If the chimney was lower than it should have been before the storm, we explain what that means and the options for putting it right. The rebuilt top is finished with a crown and cap that suit it, and the height is noted on the written record of the work.
Wet framing under a lost chase cover
When a chase cover is lost or lifted, rain runs straight onto the top of the framing. Wood that stays wet can soften and rot, and water can travel down inside the chase.
We check the top plates and sheathing we can reach and note any softness or staining. Framing that is only damp may dry once the chase is covered. Framing that has softened needs repair before a new cover goes on. Chase framing repair is its own item on the estimate, with what we saw written beside it.
HVHZ roof work and your roofer
In Miami-Dade County, roof covering work follows the HVHZ provisions of the Florida Building Code. That can affect the materials and methods used around the chimney, where the flashing meets the roof.
Where the roof covering near the chimney needs repair, your roofer handles it under those provisions. We coordinate so the chimney flashing and the roof work fit together and go in the right order. Ask your roofer and us what applies, so both parts of the job are done to the same standard and nothing is left between the two trades.
What the storm damage estimate lists
- Crown surface and edge check
- Chase siding or stucco check
- Replacement cap sized to the flue
- Storm collar resealed to the flue pipe
Storm repair answers, in plain terms
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.
The chase cover lifted in the wind. Can it be refastened?
Sometimes. If the metal is still flat and sound, it may be refastened and resealed. If it is bent, torn or rusted, a new cover shaped to shed water is the better repair. We explain which applies.
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.
