Bricks on the roof or the drive

Brick pieces or broken concrete turning up on shingles, in gutters or across the drive tell you the chimney top is breaking up. More can follow in the next gust, so the area below the chimney is no place for people, pets or cars.

Keep everyone clear and do not climb up to look. Our crew takes down what is loose, covers what is open and writes up the rebuild for later. Pieces falling from the chimney at your house in Atlantic Beach? Call (904) 920-5495, day or night, for an emergency visit.

Storm wind on coastal chimneys in Atlantic Beach

Storm wind hits chimney tops hardest along the coast, and Atlantic Beach is right on it. Caps and chase covers are the first parts to go, and an open flue takes rain straight down.

In storm season, coastal calls are often about covering an open top quickly and safely.

Why some roofs wait for daylight

A roof in high wind, lightning or heavy rain is not a safe place for anyone, including an experienced crew. Wet roofing is slippery, gusts can knock a person off balance and darkness hides loose material.

When conditions make roof work unsafe, the visit may focus on what can be done from inside and from the ground, with the roof work at first light. We tell you plainly when that is the plan and why. An honest delay is better than a crew on a roof it should not be on. Inside work, such as protecting furniture or checking the firebox, can still go ahead while the roof waits.

Damage a chimney fire can leave

Deposits burning in a flue can drive temperatures far past normal. Clay tile can split, mortar joints can open, a metal damper can warp and heat can reach wood framing close to the chimney through gaps in the masonry.

A factory-built chimney can be damaged too, and its parts are judged against the maker's instructions. Much of this cannot be seen from the room, so nothing burns in that fireplace until the whole system has been examined. The findings decide whether repair or relining comes next. If framing near the chimney shows scorching, it is written up for the right trade to assess.

Keeping animals out once the flue is clear

Once an animal is out, the flue is checked for nesting material and debris, which can block draft and attract the next visitor. That material is cleared before the fireplace is used.

Then the opening is closed off with a cap and screen sized to the flue tile, so animals cannot get back in while smoke still can get out. Where a cap is missing or damaged, its replacement is priced on the follow-up estimate. The goal is one removal, not a repeat call next season. Any gap an animal used to get in, beside the flue or under the cap, is closed at the same time.

Before the crew arrives

Can someone come tonight?

Someone picks up 24/7 and gives you an honest estimate of when a crew can reach you, given the storm and the roof. If first light is the safer time to work, you get clear instructions for the night.

Will a tarp hold until the repair?

For a short time. We tell you how long ours should hold, check it if the weather turns and schedule the permanent repair before it wears out.
