From temporary cover to permanent storm repair
Weather-tight first, lasting repairs second
The first goal after a storm is to stop more water getting in. That may mean covering an open flue, sealing a lifted edge or protecting a cracked crown until it can be repaired properly.
Lasting repairs follow once the damage is understood and the materials are ready. The two stages are separate items on the estimate. You can see what the temporary work does, what it costs and what the permanent repair will replace. Nothing temporary is presented as the finished job.
A chase cover blown off the chase
A chase cover blown off exposes the top of a framed chase to the weather. Rain runs straight onto the framing and insulation, and the metal chimney inside stands unprotected where it leaves the chase.
We cover the chase temporarily and check the chimney pipe, the storm collar and the top of the framing for damage. A permanent cover is measured and made to fit the chase and the pipe. Any wet or damaged framing is noted and described as a separate repair, since it may need time to dry before it is closed in again.
Old wear and fresh damage kept apart
A storm often reveals problems that were already there. A crown that was cracking, flashing that was lifting or a cap that was rusting may have given way in the wind.
We separate older wear from fresh damage where we can tell them apart. Each is listed on its own line with its own reason. That way you can see the full picture and decide on each repair, without the estimate blurring what the storm did and what time did.
Same-day storm visits when available
Same-day visits are available when the schedule allows and conditions are safe. After a storm, the aim of an early visit is to make the chimney weather-tight and to understand the damage before the next rain.
A temporary cover can often go on during that visit. Permanent repairs usually need materials measured or ordered, so they are scheduled once the full extent of the damage is known. We tell you what the temporary work covers until then, how long it is meant to stay and what would make it need checking again.

Questions about wind-damaged chimneys
Can you say whether the storm caused the damage?
We describe the condition we find and what it suggests. Appearance alone does not always show when damage happened, so we keep older wear apart from fresh damage on the estimate and do not go beyond what we can see.
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.
Are storm repairs covered by a warranty?
Our workmanship warranty covers the repairs we carry out. If one of those repairs gives way, call us and we return to check it. Temporary covers are not permanent repairs, and we explain what they are meant to do.
