Weather-tight first, then lasting storm repairs
Keeping the air gap at the chase top
Some factory-built chimneys need a ventilation opening between the chase top and the pipe, as their installation instructions describe. A replacement cover has to keep that opening.
When we fit a new chase cover, the collar opening is sized to the listed pipe and to any air space the chimney instructions call for. A cover sealed tight to the pipe would defeat that design. We follow the instructions for the chimney you have, and we tell you if the old cover did not.
Questions to ask before approving storm repairs
Before you approve, ask which items are temporary and which are permanent. Ask how long the temporary protection is meant to last and what would make it need checking.
Ask how each new part will be fastened and what metal it is made of. Ask what happens if more damage appears during the work, and whether the fireplace can be used in the meantime. Any question you raise on the visit gets a direct answer that agrees with the written estimate. If something is still unclear, ask again before you sign.
Open joints on the side that faced the wind
The face of a chimney that took the storm head-on gets the most wind-driven rain. Open or eroded mortar joints on that face let water deep into the masonry.
We check each face of the chimney, not only the top, and note which joints are open. Repointing those joints with a mortar that suits the brick closes the path. The work is listed by face, so you can see where it is needed. Faces that are sound are left as they are, without work that adds nothing.
HVHZ roof work and your roofer
In Broward 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.

Storm repair answers, in plain terms
Can you cover an open flue before the permanent repair?
Yes, once the roof is safe to work on. A temporary cover keeps rain and debris out while the permanent repair is arranged. It is listed and priced separately and is not described as the finished repair.
Is there a discount on storm damage repairs?
Yes. Storm repairs you approve inside 72 hours of your free inspection are 10% off, and so is anything else booked with them. Both the inspection and the estimate cost nothing either way.
Do you have an emergency line for storm damage?
Yes, our emergency line runs 24/7. For a fire or any immediate danger to people, call 911 before anyone else. For urgent chimney damage, describe what you see from a safe place when you call.
