Repairing what the wind loosened
A gap between chimney and wall after the storm
If a gap has opened where the chimney meets the wall, treat it as a serious sign, especially after strong wind. It can mean the chimney has moved at its base or its top.
Keep clear of the chimney, leave the fireplace unused and tell us what you see. We look at where the gap starts, how wide it runs and whether it is still opening. Some movement needs more than a chimney repair to assess. We explain what we can confirm and what needs further investigation.
Our emergency line after a storm
We keep an emergency line that runs 24/7 for urgent chimney problems. After a storm, it is there if part of the chimney is loose and at risk of falling, or if water is pouring in beside it.
For a fire or any immediate danger to people, call 911 before anyone else. When you reach our line, describe what you see from a safe place and whether anyone is at risk. We explain what can be done and when, without promising times we cannot keep. The permanent repair is then planned in the usual way.
What the free storm inspection covers
The free storm inspection covers the whole chimney top. That means the cap and screen, the chase cover and storm collar, the crown, the flashing, the top courses and any chase siding.
Inside, we check the firebox, the damper and signs of water, and we look down the flue as far as we can. You hear what we found and what it means for using the fireplace. The findings become a free written estimate, with temporary and permanent items listed separately and priced one by one.
Roof covering around the chimney
Wind can tear or lift shingles, tiles or other roof covering around a chimney. That damage lets water reach the roof deck even when the chimney itself came through the storm sound.
We note any roof covering damage near the chimney. Its repair belongs to your roofer, and we coordinate with them so the flashing goes on in the right order. Our estimate lists the chimney work and names the roof covering item, so it is not forgotten between the two trades. You then know who handles each part.

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.
Can loose pieces of a damaged chimney top fall?
Loose top courses or a shifted cap can fall, especially in the next strong wind. Keep people and vehicles away from the area below the chimney, and do not use the fireplace. Tell us what you see when you call.
Is same-day storm repair available?
Same-day visits are available when the schedule allows and the roof is safe to reach. A temporary cover can often go on during that visit. Permanent repairs are scheduled once the extent of the damage is known.
