Repairing what the wind loosened
Stay off a wet roof after a storm
A roof after a storm is slick, and damaged areas may not hold weight. Loose masonry at the chimney top can shift under a hand. One cap maker advises against climbing your own roof, because a fall can cause serious harm.
Please do not climb up to straighten a cap or push a cover back into place. The damage is rarely urgent enough to justify the risk. We reach the chimney with the right access once conditions are safe and make it weather-tight from there.
Siding or stucco torn on a chase
A framed chase is covered with siding or stucco, and wind can tear, crack or loosen that finish. Water then reaches the framing behind it.
We check the chase walls from top to bottom and look for water marks inside where we can reach. Loose or torn finish is noted, along with any softness in the framing. Repairs to the chase finish and framing are described as separate items. The chase cover on top is checked at the same time, since water often enters there.
Relaying the top courses of a chimney
When the top courses of a chimney are loose, they are taken down to sound masonry and relaid. Matching brick is used where it can be found, and the new work is tied into the courses below.
Mortar for the new courses is chosen to suit the brick, no harder than the units around it, following preservation guidance on repointing. The crown is then recast on top of the relaid courses, and the cap goes back once the crown has cured. We explain how far down the work goes before starting, and why that depth was chosen.
Storm checks flue by flue
Some chimneys carry several flues, one for a fireplace and others for appliances. After a storm, each flue is checked on its own, because damage to one does not mean damage to all.
A multi-flue cap may cover them all, or each may have its own cap. We check every flue opening for damage and debris, and note what each one serves. Repairs are listed flue by flue, so you can see which part of the chimney each one concerns. A flue that serves an appliance is not covered in any way that would block it.

Storm repair answers, in plain terms
My chimney cap blew off. What should I do first?
Leave the fireplace unlit, close the damper if it still closes, and keep people away from any fallen pieces. Do not climb onto the roof. Then arrange a free inspection and a temporary cover over the open flue.
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.
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.
