Metal chimney pipe knocked loose

Metal fireplaces vent through a chimney pipe that ends at a listed cap on the roof. Wind or a falling limb can knock that termination loose or bend the pipe, opening the chimney to rain and leaving the fireplace unsafe to use. Stay clear of the area under any bent pipe until it is secured.

Replacement parts come from the fireplace maker, since the chimney is part of a listed system. Tonight's job is securing and covering what is loose. Metal chimney damaged on your roof in Avondale? Phone (904) 920-5495; our emergency line answers 24/7.

Avondale is an inland community. Within Jacksonville city limits, Avondale is its own named neighborhood.

A cap refastened or a flue covered

Shifted but intact, a cap can often be refastened as a temporary fix. One that is bent, broken or gone leaves the flue open, and a temporary cover goes on instead.

The replacement cap is measured to the flue tile and priced separately, since a proper cap needs the right size and metal. Until it goes on, the temporary cover keeps rain and animals out. The note from the visit says which was done and how long it is meant to hold. Fasteners used for a temporary fix are chosen so they come out cleanly when the new cap goes on.

When a tree comes down on a chimney

A fallen limb or tree can crack a chimney top, knock bricks loose or shift the whole stack. The weight of the limb may be holding damaged masonry in place, so removing it carelessly can bring more down.

Tree removal is a tree service's job. We coordinate with them so the chimney is secured as the weight comes off, then cover what is open and take down anything that remains loose. The chimney is assessed for movement before any rebuild is priced. The cap and flue top are also checked, since a limb that strikes the chimney often lands on them first.

When a sweep cannot wait

Routine cleaning covers nearly every sweep. An emergency sweep is different: it clears a flue that has become blocked by a nest, debris or fallen tile, when something that people rely on vents through it.

The sweep clears the blockage and the flue is examined for the cause. A missing cap, a cracked tile or a collapsed nest are the usual findings, and each goes on the follow-up estimate. Nothing vents through that flue again until it is confirmed open. The debris removed is checked too, because pieces of tile or mortar among it point to damage higher up. A nest found to be active and protected changes the plan, and you hear that before anything is removed.

Should I call you or 911 first?

Smoke indoors, a carbon monoxide alarm or flames in the chimney: evacuate and dial 911 before anyone else. Water, storm damage and trapped animals come straight to our line.
