Putting a storm-damaged chimney right
Describing condition, not guessing cause
We describe what we find, where it is and what it suggests. We do not state when damage happened or what caused it, because appearance alone often cannot show that.
An old crack and fresh damage can sit side by side on the same chimney top. We describe each one separately on the estimate, in plain terms. You get a clear account of the condition now and the repairs that would put it right, without claims beyond what we can see. That record is yours to keep and use as you need.
Keeping children and pets clear
After a storm, the area around a damaged chimney can hold fallen fragments, with loose material still overhead. Keep children and pets away from that area until the chimney has been checked.
Inside, keep them away from a fireplace that has debris or water in it, and keep the screen closed. We tell you when the area outside is safe again. During the repair, we mark off the area below the chimney while work is going on overhead, and we tidy it at the end of each day.
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.
Coastal air and chimney metal
Near the coast, air carries chlorides from sea spray. Galvanizing industry data shows that chlorides in marine air speed up the loss of the zinc coating on galvanized steel, and that wind and the distance from the sea change the rate.
After a storm, galvanized caps and chase covers with scratched coatings can rust quickly in salt air. We check coating damage closely and look at the fasteners and seams where rust tends to start. For a replacement, we explain whether stainless steel would suit the exposure better and what that choice means for the life of the part.

Asked after a strong storm
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.
Does storm repair include clearing debris from the flue?
Clearing storm debris that blocks the flue, damper or smoke shelf is part of making the chimney safe to use. If the flue also needs a full sweep, that is listed as a separate service with its own price.
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.
