After the fire department has left

Once the flames in a flue are out, the questions start. Heat can crack flue tiles, open joints, warp a damper and reach framing near the chimney, and much of it is out of sight. No fire goes in the firebox before someone has examined that flue. A cap or screen damaged in the fire is noted along with the flue.

Our visit begins with the closer inspection NFPA 211 expects after that kind of event. Chimney checked by the fire department in Baldwin and now need the flue examined? Phone (904) 920-5495; the line answers 24/7.

Baldwin sits in Duval County. The 2020 Census counted 1,396 residents in Baldwin.

Protecting the room from chimney water

Water coming in at the chimney can run down inside the wall, drip from the ceiling or pool in the firebox. The first step inside is protecting what can be moved: furniture, rugs and anything electrical near the water.

A cold firebox can have its damper closed to slow water coming down the flue. Water in the walls or ceiling may need drying out, and ceiling damage may need a separate trade. We note what we see inside so the permanent repair and any interior work are planned together. Electrical outlets or fixtures that got wet are left off until an electrician says otherwise.

Checking your chimney from the ground

Much can be learned after a storm without climbing anything. Look at the chimney top for a missing, tilted or bent cap, and at the chimney itself for cracks or a lean. Look at the roof around it for bricks, concrete or metal that were not there before.

Indoors, look in the firebox for fallen material and at the ceiling by the chimney for fresh marks. Anything you find is worth telling us on the phone, because it decides what we bring. Stay off the roof until it has been checked. Binoculars help if the chimney is tall or set back from the edge of the roof.

An honest answer about when we can come

When you call the emergency line, you get a realistic idea of when someone can be there, based on the weather, the roof and the calls already under way. We do not promise a time we cannot keep.

If the honest answer is first light, you hear that, along with what to do until then. When the calendar and the sky cooperate, same-day chimney repair is possible. Knowing the plan helps you decide what to protect inside and whether anything needs moving before the next band of rain. If conditions change after the call, we call back with the new plan.

Emergency questions from Baldwin

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.

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.
