After-storm chimney work for homes in Tamarac
A cap bent but still attached
A cap can stay on the chimney and still be damaged. The hood may be bent down toward the flue, the screen torn or one leg pulled away from its fastening.
A cap bent close to the flue can restrict the flow of smoke, and a torn screen no longer stops sparks or animals. We judge whether the cap can be straightened and refastened or whether it should be replaced. The estimate says which and why. A cap that looks fine from the ground is checked all the same.
When the water appears tells us where it enters
The timing of a leak is a clue. Water that appears only during wind from one direction may be entering through the side of the chimney or the flashing. Water that appears a day or more later may have soaked through masonry first.
Tell us when you first saw the water and what the weather was doing. That timing narrows the search before anyone goes up. It saves guesswork and helps us repair the entry point rather than the stain.
The damper after water came down
If rain entered the flue during the storm, the damper took the water first. Metal plates rust quickly when soaked, and debris on the plate can hold moisture against it.
We check the damper for water, rust and debris and make sure it still opens and closes. Light rust can be cleaned off. A damper that has seized or rusted through is noted as a separate repair. The source of the water is fixed first, so the damper does not rust again.
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.

Storm repair answers, in plain terms
Is it safe to use the fireplace after a strong storm?
Not until the chimney has been checked. Wind can move a cap, crack a crown or shift masonry without any sign from the room. The national standard for chimneys calls for a closer look after an event likely to have damaged one.
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.
Can wind damage the flue lining inside the chimney?
It can, if debris struck the top or the chimney moved. Lining damage is not visible from the ground. We look down the flue as far as the inspection allows and tell you if a closer look is needed.
