How we handle a chimney after a storm
Flashing torn or lifted at the roof line
Flashing seals the joint where the chimney meets the roof. Wind can lift its edges, tear it at the corners or pull it away from the masonry. Rain then runs behind it and into the house.
We check the base flashing on the roof and the counter flashing on the chimney above it. A section that has only lifted may be reset and sealed. Torn or badly bent flashing is replaced. The work is coordinated with the roof covering around it, which often needs attention too.
A chimney top that has shifted
If the top of the chimney looks out of line after a storm, treat it as unstable. Keep people, pets and vehicles away from the area below it, and do not use the fireplace.
We assess a shifted chimney from a safe position before anyone works on it. The plan may start with taking down loose masonry to a sound level. Permanent work then follows, rebuilding the top to meet the code's height and cap rules. We explain each stage before it starts.
How the storm repair discount window works
Book storm repairs inside 72 hours of your free inspection and the work you book is 10% off. The window counts from your own inspection visit, not from the date of the storm.
It covers the temporary and permanent items you book in that window, and any other service in the same booking. There is no pressure to decide faster than you are comfortable with. A booking made after the window does not carry the discount. We explain the window when we hand you the estimate.
A second look at a storm damage diagnosis
If another company has already assessed the storm damage, you are welcome to ask for our view. We check the chimney top ourselves and tell you plainly whether we agree with what you were told.
Sometimes the damage is less than feared, and a refastened cap is all that is needed. Sometimes more parts are affected than first noticed. Either way, our free inspection gives you an independent view, written down, to weigh against the first opinion. The decision stays with you.

Common storm damage chimney questions
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.
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.
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.
