After-storm chimney work for homes in Miami Springs
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.
The written record of storm repairs
When the work is done, you receive a written record of it. It lists the parts we repaired or replaced, the materials used and the way each new part is fastened.
It also notes anything we saw and left outside the job, such as roof covering or interior finishes, and anything we could not see. Keep it with other house records. It helps with later maintenance visits, shows exactly what was done after the storm and gives anyone who works on the chimney later a clear starting point.
Comparing storm repair estimates
If you compare estimates after a storm, check what each one covers. One may replace only the cap. Another may include the crown, the flashing and the top courses. Those are very different jobs with different results.
Ask each company whether temporary and permanent work are listed separately. Ask how the new parts will be fastened and what metal they are made of. Ask what happens if more damage appears. Each of those points is answered on our estimate in writing, so the comparison rests on facts rather than guesses.
White deposits after a soaking storm
A chimney soaked in a storm may show white, powdery deposits on its faces as it dries. Brick industry guidance explains that water moving through masonry carries dissolved material to the surface, where it is left behind.
The deposits are a sign of where water moved. We note them and look for the entry point that let the water in. Once the source is repaired and the masonry dries, the deposits can be cleaned with a suitable method. Cleaning before the source is fixed only brings them back with the next soaking rain.

Asked after a strong 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.
Do you run a water test to find where a storm leak starts?
A hose water test is used when the job calls for it, usually when the entry point cannot be found by looking. It lets us wet one area at a time and watch for water inside.
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.
