A chase cover torn off

Many metal fireplaces sit inside a framed chimney chase topped with a metal cover. When wind tears that cover off, the framing and the metal chimney pipe inside are open to rain. The fireplace below should not be used until the chase and chimney pipe have been checked.

Water inside a chase can soak the framing and run down to the fireplace below. We cover the top securely as a temporary measure and price a new cover, sized to the chase, once the weather has cleared. Chase cover gone from your chimney in Bayard? Phone (904) 920-5495; the line is staffed 24/7.

The county for Bayard is Duval County. Bayard is inland.

Examining a chimney after a fire

NFPA 211 asks for a closer inspection whenever a chimney has probably been damaged, and a flue fire is exactly that. No fire is lit before that inspection is complete.

It follows the flue end to end, then checks the smoke chamber, the damper and firebox, and the clearances where the chimney passes floors and roof. Split tiles, open joints, a warped damper or heat marks on nearby framing are written down. Anything that must be repaired before the next fire is listed first. Deposits that burned in the flue often look puffy or honeycombed, and their condition is recorded.

Storm season and chimney calls

NOAA's hurricane center counts the season as running June through November. Storms in that window can tear off caps and chase covers, push rain through weak points and bring down limbs onto chimneys.

The emergency work after a storm focuses on stopping water and securing what is loose. Rebuilding what the storm broke is a separate storm damage job, priced after the skies clear. Keeping those two apart means the night visit stays focused on safety. Keeping the two apart also means the night visit is short, focused and safe for the crew. The later storm repair then gets the daylight, dry weather and careful measuring it needs.

Who else may need to be called

Chimney emergencies often touch other trades. Roof covering damaged beyond the chimney is a roofer's work. A gas smell or a damaged gas appliance belongs to the gas utility and a gas contractor. Wiring damaged by lightning or water is an electrician's job, and a fallen tree needs a tree service.

We say which trades are needed on the emergency note, so nothing is missed. Our part is the chimney and the fireplace. Where work has to happen in a certain order, we explain it, so the chimney repair is not done twice. Where another trade needs to go first, the chimney work is scheduled to follow it.
