Wind damage repairs, part by part
Top courses loosened by the storm
The top courses of a masonry chimney are among its most exposed parts, open to wind and rain from every side. After a storm, bricks there can be loose, cracked or shifted out of line, even when the rest of the chimney looks sound.
Loose top courses can fall in the next strong wind. We check each course near the top, note which bricks have moved and whether the mortar still holds. Where they are loose, the courses are taken down to sound masonry and relaid. The estimate describes how far down the work goes.
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.
What you can see from the attic side
If your attic is safe to enter, the area around the chimney can show where water came in. Look for wet wood, stained sheathing or damp insulation next to the chimney or chase.
Do not step off the framing or move insulation around a metal flue. A flashlight view is enough. Tell us what you saw, and we check the same area during the visit. The attic view often shows whether the water came through the flashing or down the chimney itself.
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.

Questions about wind-damaged chimneys
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.
Does storm repair include clearing debris from the flue?
Clearing storm debris that blocks the flue, damper or smoke shelf is part of making the chimney safe to use. If the flue also needs a full sweep, that is listed as a separate service with its own price.
Is same-day storm repair available?
Same-day visits are available when the schedule allows and the roof is safe to reach. A temporary cover can often go on during that visit. Permanent repairs are scheduled once the extent of the damage is known.
