- Blown-off caps replaced and fastened against the next storm
- A chase cover blown off? New one made and fastened
- Cracked crowns and loose top brick repaired
- Torn or lifted flashing reset at the roof

FAQ
Storm damage questions
After a storm, how fast can you get out?
The 24/7 line is answered, and visits are booked by what is safe and urgent. Where waiting for daylight is safer, we tell you how to protect the room until then.
My chimney looks fine from the yard. Should it be checked?
Yes. Wind can crack a crown or loosen the top courses without anything showing from the ground, so a check after a storm is the safe move before the next fire. Call (904) 920-5495 to book a free inspection.
Fernandina Beach and American Beach, do you handle storm calls there?
Yes. Call the 24/7 line at (904) 920-5495 with the address and what you can see from the ground.
Will the estimate be itemized for my records?
Yes, free and in writing. Temporary weather work and the permanent repairs are listed separately, each with its own price.
Chimney cap blown off. Is the fireplace safe to use?
Not until the flue has been checked. Rain, leaves or an animal may have gone down it and the spark screen is gone, so keep the damper shut until we look.
Common Problems
Storm damage our chimney specialists see after high wind
Cap or chase cover gone after the wind
Rain now runs straight down the flue. We cover the top on the first visit and fit a new cap fastened the way its maker directs.
Bricks or crown pieces on the roof
The top courses have shifted. Keep people clear of the base while we take loose masonry down to a stable course and cover it.
Water in the firebox after the storm
Water got in at the top or through lifted flashing. Leave the soot where it is, since what washed down shows us where it entered.
Chimney looks fine from the yard
Wind can crack a crown or loosen a joint at the roof line without anything falling. A check before the next fire is the safe move.

Safety before anyone looks at the chimney
Chimney damage after a hurricane or a hard storm can wait while the bigger hazards are dealt with. Stay clear of downed power lines and report them to the power company. If you smell gas, get out of the house first, then phone the gas utility or 911. Nobody should climb onto a wet or damaged roof to look at a chimney.
Loose masonry is the chimney's own hazard. If the top courses have shifted or pieces of the crown have come down, keep people and pets away from the base and the roof slope below it until the top has been made safe. Our emergency chimney repair line handles that kind of call after hours.
Why the fireplace stays cold after a storm
NFPA 211 treats a damaging event as a trigger: after anything likely to have harmed the chimney, weather included, it expects a more thorough look than the yearly one. Wind load on a stack can crack a crown or loosen a joint at the roof line without anything falling off, which is why wind damaged chimney repair starts with that check even when the chimney looks fine from the yard. With a cap gone or a crown cracked, driven rain soaks the smoke chamber and rusts the damper, so nobody lights the fireplace until it has been looked at.
Hurricane chimney repair built for the next storm
Hurricane chimney damage repair is sequenced by the water: the parts that keep rain out first, then the structure, then the finishes inside. New work above the roof is built to the Florida Building Code, whose residential volume sets design wind speeds by location on the maps in Chapter 3, and caps and covers are fastened the way their makers direct. Replacement parts on a factory-built chimney come from the same listed system. Our hurricane chimney prep guide lists the checks worth doing before June 1, when the Atlantic hurricane season opens.
After the next storm, call (904) 920-5495 and book a free inspection before you light the fireplace.
