A ceiling stain growing by the hour

A damp patch beside the chimney that grows while the rain falls is a leak in progress. The water is getting in at the chimney, the roof line or the flue top and finding its way down.

Put a bucket under any drip, move valuables clear and keep an eye on the ceiling for sagging. If it sags, keep people out from under it. We stop the water at the chimney as a temporary measure and find the entry point for the permanent fix. Stain spreading near your chimney in Crawford? Call (904) 920-5495 now.

Damaged factory-built chimney pipe

The listed metal chimney on a factory-built fireplace ends at the maker's own cap. When a storm or a falling limb damages that pipe or its termination, the fireplace is not safe to use.

Replacement sections and caps come from the fireplace maker, matched to the model, because the chimney was tested as part of the system. The emergency visit secures and covers what is loose. The permanent repair uses the maker's parts, and it is priced once the model is identified. The model is read from the fireplace's rating plate so the right parts can be found quickly.

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.

A chimney that has moved

Once a chimney has shifted, leaning out or opening a gap at the wall, it is a falling hazard. The area it would fall toward is kept clear of people and vehicles until it has been assessed.

When it is safe to approach, we check how far it has moved, take down loose material from the top and cover any opening. Whether the chimney can be braced and repaired or has to be taken down and rebuilt is decided in daylight, with the reasons written down. Temporary bracing is used only where it can be fixed safely without adding load to damaged masonry.

What we write down after a call in Crawford

Before the crew arrives

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.

Can I use the fireplace after an emergency visit?

The visit note says so in writing. After a fire, storm damage to the flue or a blockage, nothing is burned until the flue is examined and any repair is finished.
