The storm repair plan for your chimney
Cracks in a stucco chimney after the storm
A stucco-finished chimney can crack when debris strikes it or when the structure beneath flexes in strong wind. Fine cracks let wind-driven rain into the wall.
We check the stucco surface, its edges and the joints around the top. Cracks are described by size and location, and we explain whether the stucco can be patched or needs more. If water has got behind the finish, we note where. The stucco repair is listed separately from any crown or cap work.
Choosing the metal for a replacement part
Replacement caps and chase covers come in galvanized steel, stainless steel and sometimes copper. Each metal wears differently, and the right choice depends on the exposure and the parts it will touch.
We explain the options for your chimney and what each means for its life and its appearance. The metal chosen is named on the estimate, with its fasteners. If the old part rusted quickly, we explain whether a different metal would last longer on your chimney, and we say plainly when the difference would be small.
What a storm inspection cannot see
Some storm damage is hidden from view. Cracks inside a flue lining, wet framing behind siding or water inside a wall may not show from the roof or from the room.
The estimate separates what was visible from what was out of sight. If a hidden condition could change the repair, we say so and explain what would reveal it, such as opening a small area or a closer look down the flue. The plan then already accounts for the likely surprise, and nothing is added to the job without your approval.
A crack that was there before the storm
Not every crack on a chimney after a storm is new. Some were there before and simply became noticeable once someone looked closely at the chimney top.
We describe the crack, its size and where it runs, and whether it shows signs of recent movement. If it looks older, we say that too. Either way, the repair is listed on its own line with its reason. Keeping older defects separate from fresh damage gives you an honest picture of the chimney as it stands now.
What the storm damage estimate lists
- Chase cover and storm collar check
- Storm collar resealed to the flue pipe
- Damper checked for water and debris

Common storm damage chimney questions
How long before permanent storm repairs are finished?
It depends on the damage, the materials and the weather. The chimney is made weather-tight before anything else. Permanent repairs follow on the schedule we agree, and the estimate shows the order they happen in.
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.
What does the free storm inspection cover?
We check the cap and screen, chase cover and storm collar, crown, flashing, top courses and any chase siding. Inside, we look at the firebox, damper and signs of water. You get the findings and a free written estimate.
