A written record of the storm damage
After a storm, it helps to have a clear, dated account of what happened to the chimney: what was damaged, what was made safe right away and what the permanent repair will be. Memory is unreliable weeks later, and so are notes on a scrap of paper. Notes made at the time are far more reliable than memory months later.
Every storm job we do in Bryceville ends with a written record for your files, listing each finding, each temporary measure and each permanent repair with its date and price.
The county for Bryceville is Nassau County. Bryceville is inland.

Safe, dry, sound, finished
-
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.
Wind-lifted flashing in Bryceville
Flashing lifts in wind wherever it was fixed poorly, inland or on the coast. In Bryceville, counter flashing that was only sealed to the brick face is the first to pull away.
We let the new counter flashing into a cut joint so the next wind has nothing to grab.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Cap, crown and flashing repairs booked in the 72 hours after the inspection each come 10% off.
Large caps over several flues
A cap that covers several flues at once is a big, flat surface in the wind. It has to be anchored to the crown or the brick with fasteners suited to masonry, spaced as its maker directs, and the crown under it has to be sound enough to hold them.
When a multi-flue cap has been lifted or bent, we check the crown and the anchors before refitting or replacing it. A cap reset on a cracked crown is loose again after the next storm. Where the crown cannot hold anchors, recasting it comes first, and the cap goes back on the new crown.
Rebuilding to the wind design in the code
Chapter 3 of the Florida Building Code's residential volume maps design wind speeds across the state, and new construction is designed to them. A chimney top rebuilt after a storm follows the code in force, and each cap or cover goes on by the method its maker specifies.
That is the difference between putting a chimney back as it was and putting it back right. Where a rebuild needs a permit, the estimate says so and who pulls it. Rebuilt masonry above the roof follows the design the code calls for, rather than simply copying what failed.
What the written storm record includes
For each storm job, the record lists the date of the visit, what we found on each part of the chimney, what was done that day to make it safe, and the permanent repairs with their prices. Findings are described in plain words with their positions.
It is written for your files, so that months later you can see what happened and what was done. A copy of the finished work is added when the permanent repair is complete. Keeping the record with your house papers also helps whoever looks at the chimney next.
Temporary and permanent, line by line
- Hazards from the ground noted first, before anyone goes up
- Every flue checked, and which appliances may run written down
- Top courses that shifted, relaid and priced per course
- Mount removal and brick repair listed separately
Storm damage questions from Bryceville
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.
Will you give me a written record of the damage?
Yes. Every storm job includes a dated written account of what we found, what we did to make it safe and the permanent repairs, for your files.
