Temporary cover now, permanent repair later
Right after a storm, the goal is to stop more water getting in. A flue cover, a tarp over a broken chase top or loose brick taken down to a stable course can do that in a few hours. The permanent repair may need dry days, cured materials or parts on order. Doing the permanent work in the wrong weather can undo it within weeks.
For a chimney in Arlington, we write the temporary work and the permanent work as separate lines, with what each one does and when the second can happen. You approve each step before we do it.
Arlington is one of the named neighborhoods of Jacksonville. Arlington is in Duval County.

The order of a storm repair
-
Hazards first, then the call
Utility and 911 hazards come first. Then describe what you see from the ground and we set the visit.
-
Top closed to the weather
An open flue, a broken chase top or loose courses are covered or made stable the same visit where safe.
-
Chimney checked top to bottom
Cap, crown, flashing, masonry and every flue are checked, and each finding is written down in order.
-
Permanent repairs in dry weather
Water-stopping work goes first, then structure, then finishes, each on its own line.
Metal chimneys after a storm in Arlington
Factory-built chimneys in Arlington lose caps and storm collars to wind like any other. Without salt air, the parts rust only where water sits, so a storm-bent cap may be the main damage.
Replacement parts come from the same listed system, ordered by model.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Homeowners in Arlington get the same 10% discount on storm work as on any other job.
Flues that other appliances depend on
A chimney may carry a flue for a water heater or furnace beside the fireplace flue. That flue has to stay open while the appliance runs, so it cannot be sealed with a temporary cover, and a damaged top on it is a reason to keep the appliance off until it is checked.
We check each flue on the chimney separately after a storm and tell you in writing which appliances are safe to run. Where an appliance flue needs a new cap, it gets one made for that appliance's venting. If an appliance was shut off because of the damage, we tell you when it can be turned back on and by whom.
Storm parts for a factory-built chimney
A metal chimney and its cap are listed as one system, and R1005.1 and R1005.2 keep replacement parts and decorative tops inside that listing. A cap or pipe section from a different system does not lock to the old one and is not part of what was tested.
We read the model from the fireplace label or the pipe before ordering a replacement cap, storm collar or section. Bent pipe above the chase is replaced, not straightened, and the parts go on the estimate by number. If the model cannot be identified, we say so, and the estimate explains how the correct parts will be traced.
Working on a storm-damaged roof
A roof after a storm may have loose shingles, debris and soft spots. Chimney work waits until the roof can be walked safely, and we use roof anchors and ladders set for the conditions.
Where the roof itself is damaged around the chimney, we coordinate with the roofer so flashing and roofing go back in the right order. The estimate says which trade does each part, so nothing is left between them. Wet roofs are slippery, so work waits for dry conditions even when the damage is plain to see.
What we check after a storm in Arlington
- Temporary flue or chase cover, with who removes it and when
- Every flue checked, and which appliances may run written down
- Counter flashing reset into a cut joint and sealed
- A dated written record of findings, temporary steps and repairs
Before the fireplace is used again
Can you put a temporary cover on today and fix it later?
Yes, where it is safe to reach. The cover and the lasting repair are priced as two lines, and nobody uses the fireplace while the cover is on.
Is the storm inspection in Arlington free?
Yes. We check the top, the roof line and the flue, then write up the temporary and permanent work separately, and the estimate costs nothing.
