After-storm chimney work for homes in Pompano Beach
Pieces of chimney in the yard
Brick fragments, mortar or metal in the yard after a storm may well have come from the chimney top. They show that something up there has moved, cracked or come apart.
Keep people and pets away from the area below the chimney, since more pieces may follow. Leave the fragments where they are if it is safe to do so. They help us see what failed. When we finish the repair, storm debris and the old material are cleaned up and hauled away.
A torn screen on the cap
The screen on a chimney cap works as a spark arrestor and keeps animals and debris out. The building code expects it to be removable for cleaning and to resist heat and corrosion.
Wind and flying debris can tear a screen or bend it away from the frame. A torn screen lets sparks out and animals in. We check the mesh and its attachment and replace the screen or the whole cap, depending on what is available for that model and how the frame fared.
If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds after the storm
If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, move everyone outside at once. From outside, call 911, and do not go back in until responders say the house is clear.
After a storm, a damaged cap, a debris-blocked flue or a cover over a working vent can push exhaust back into the house. Consumer safety guidance warns that vents and chimneys must stay clear of tarps and debris. Leave any fuel-burning appliance off until the flue has been checked and the cause found.
The first heavy rain after the repair
After a storm repair, the next heavy rain is a real test. Check the places where water appeared before, such as the ceiling near the chimney, the firebox and the attic side if you can reach it safely.
If water shows again, tell us straight away. A second entry point sometimes hides behind the first, especially with wind-driven rain from a different direction. We return to trace it and explain what we find. That follow-up is part of making sure the repair actually stopped the water rather than only the stain.

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.
A tree limb hit the chimney. Can you help?
Once the limb has been removed safely, yes. Leave large limbs to a tree service. We then check the masonry, crown, cap and flashing where it struck and list each repair separately.
Should I climb up to check the chimney after a storm?
No. A wet roof after a storm is dangerous, and loose masonry can shift under a hand or foot. Look from the ground, note what you see and let us check the chimney top with proper access.
