The storm repair plan for your chimney
Shrouds that caught the wind
Some factory-built chimneys wear a decorative shroud at the top. The shroud catches wind like a sail and can bend, loosen or tear away in a storm.
A shroud must be one listed for the chimney system, because it affects how the chimney vents and how hot the parts around it get. We check the shroud's fastening and condition, and the cap beneath it. A damaged shroud is replaced with a listed one or removed, and we explain what either choice means for the cap underneath and for the look of the chimney top.
A family-owned team after the storm
We are a family-owned, locally owned company. The people who inspect your chimney after a storm explain what they found, part by part, before any repair is agreed.
After a storm, many things around the house need attention at once. We try to make the chimney part clear and simple: what happened to it, what it needs and in what order. If you want to see a damaged part before it is replaced, we show you. If a question comes up later, you know who to ask, and you get a straight answer.
Saving on storm repairs of any size
Save 10% on storm damage work you approve within 72 hours of your free inspection, whether it is a refastened cap or a relaid chimney top.
The inspection and the written estimate are free either way. The price you see covers the agreed work, with no hidden fees added later. If you want time to talk it over with others in the household or to compare estimates, take it. The choice of what to book, and when, stays with you. Ask us to walk through the estimate line by line if that helps.
Working only when conditions are safe
We do not climb onto a roof in high wind, lightning or heavy rain. Work at height after a storm waits for safe conditions, even when the damage is obvious from the ground.
Until then, we can advise you from the ground and by phone on keeping the house protected. Keep the fireplace unused and people clear of the area below the chimney. Once conditions allow, we reach the chimney, make it weather-tight and assess the damage. A short wait is safer than a fall, for us and for your roof.
What the after-storm inspection checks
- Cap and screen condition and fastening
- Flashing and counter flashing check
- Chase cover shaped to shed water
- Interior water entry points noted
Common storm damage chimney questions
Do you run a water test to find where a storm leak starts?
A hose water test is used when the job calls for it, usually when the entry point cannot be found by looking. It lets us wet one area at a time and watch for water inside.
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.
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.
