Calls at night, on weekends and holidays

Chimney emergencies do not wait for business hours, and storms often arrive at night or over a weekend. The line is answered 24/7, holidays included. If the forecast shows a break in the weather, that break is used for the roof work.

What we can do at night depends on the weather and the roof. Sometimes a crew can come out and secure things. Sometimes the safest plan is detailed instructions for the night and a visit at first light. Either way, you hear which, and why. Chimney trouble at an awkward hour in Arlington? Phone (904) 920-5495.

Leaning chimneys after storms in Arlington

Storm movement can bring a chimney down, so the area below it has to be kept clear.

In Arlington we take down what is loose and cover what is open before planning the rebuild.

Covering an open chimney top

With a chimney top open to the weather, the quickest way to stop water is a heavy-duty tarp over the flue and the damaged area, strapped or weighted so the wind cannot lift it. Where possible, it is secured without new holes in the masonry.

A tarp is a stopgap. Sun and wind wear it, and it will not hold forever. We tell you how long ours should last, check it if the weather turns, and schedule the permanent repair before it gives out. The fireplace stays unused while the tarp is on. Straps are routed so they do not cut into flashing or damage the roof covering.

Lightning and chimney damage

A chimney often stands above the roof, which makes it a likely path for lightning. A strike can crack bricks, blow off the top courses, damage the cap and send debris down the flue.

If there is any sign of fire in the house, get everyone out and call 911 first. Otherwise, the chimney is examined before the fireplace is used again, including the flue, since a strike can crack tiles inside that look fine from outside. Damage that affects the roof or wiring is referred to those trades. Scorch marks, cracked bricks near the top or pieces of tile in the firebox are all signs worth reporting.

Damaged factory-built chimney pipe

The listed metal chimney on a factory-built fireplace ends at the maker's own cap. When a storm or a falling limb damages that pipe or its termination, the fireplace is not safe to use.

Replacement sections and caps come from the fireplace maker, matched to the model, because the chimney was tested as part of the system. The emergency visit secures and covers what is loose. The permanent repair uses the maker's parts, and it is priced once the model is identified. The model is read from the fireplace's rating plate so the right parts can be found quickly.

Before the crew arrives

Is the permanent repair priced on the night?

No. The night visit makes the chimney safe. The permanent repair is examined and priced in daylight, as its own written estimate, and nothing starts without your approval.

How is an emergency visit in Arlington priced?

The line tells you before anyone comes out, and the permanent repair estimate is free. Book the follow-up repair within 72 hours of the inspection and 10% comes off.
