Putting a storm-damaged chimney right
Tree limbs and impact damage
A falling limb can crack a crown, break off top courses, bend a cap or tear flashing in one blow. The damage may extend past the point of impact.
Leave large limbs to a tree service to remove safely. Once the chimney is clear, we check the area the limb struck and the parts around it. Each repair is listed separately, from the cap to the masonry. If the impact loosened the chimney, we say so before recommending any lighter repair.
A hose water test when the job calls for it
Sometimes the entry point cannot be seen, even after a close look at the top, the flashing and the faces. In that case, a hose water test can help, and we use one only when the job calls for it.
We wet one area at a time, starting low, and someone watches inside for water. Working upward keeps each result clear. The test takes time and needs access to the room below, so we arrange it with you. It tells us which part to repair, so the permanent work goes where the water actually enters.
What to tell us after a storm
Tell us what you can see from the ground, what changed inside and when you noticed it. Mention water, debris in the fireplace and any pieces in the yard or on the roof.
Say whether the chimney is brick or stone, or a metal flue in a framed chase, if you know. If the chimney serves other appliances, mention them too. Those details let us plan the visit, choose the right access and bring the right materials for a temporary cover. You do not need to climb up or clear anything first.
Replacement parts in the HVHZ
Homes in Miami-Dade County sit inside the Florida Building Code's HVHZ. When we replace storm-damaged parts on a chimney top, we fasten them to the manufacturer's instructions and the code as it applies to your job.
Ask us what applies to your cap, chase cover or flashing. We explain what we can confirm about each part and how it will be fixed. Questions about a product's approval are answered from the maker's own documents, not from our estimate, and we tell you where your roofer's input is needed.

Your storm damage questions in Silver Bluff
Why check the whole chimney top if only the cap came off?
Wind that lifts a cap often loosens other parts too. The crown, flashing, chase cover and top courses can be damaged without showing from the ground. Checking them together avoids a second leak after the next storm.
Is a factory-built chimney repaired differently after a storm?
Yes. A factory-built chimney is a listed system, so damaged pipe, storm collars, caps and chase-top parts are replaced with parts the manufacturer lists. The label on the fireplace or chimney helps us identify them.
Will a new chase cover look like the old one?
It is made to fit the chase and the chimney pipe, with a shape that sheds water, such as cross-breaks and a drip edge. It may look slightly different from a flat old cover, and we explain why before ordering it.
