A gas smell near the fireplace

Smell gas by the fireplace? Walk out without touching a switch, and once outdoors, call the gas company or 911. That comes before any call to us. Keep phones and flashlights off until you are outside.

The gas side of a fireplace belongs to the utility and a gas contractor. Once they have made it safe, we can look at the chimney or flue the appliance vents through, if that is part of the problem. After the utility has cleared the house in Kings Ferry, phone (904) 920-5495 to have the chimney side checked.

The county for Kings Ferry is Nassau County. Kings Ferry does not reach the coast.

Leaning chimneys after storms in Kings Ferry

Storm movement can bring a chimney down, so the area below it has to be kept clear.

In Kings Ferry we take down what is loose and cover what is open before planning the rebuild.

Safe steps before the crew arrives

Stay off the roof. Wet shingles, wind and darkness make it dangerous, and a fall does far more harm than any leak. Indoors, pull furniture and rugs clear of the water, lay towels, set a bucket under drips and keep kids and animals out of the room.

A cold firebox with a working damper can have the plate shut to slow rain falling down an open flue. Leave the damper open while embers still glow. An animal in the fireplace stays behind closed doors or a covered opening, with the room shut, until help comes.

Why some roofs wait for daylight

A roof in high wind, lightning or heavy rain is not a safe place for anyone, including an experienced crew. Wet roofing is slippery, gusts can knock a person off balance and darkness hides loose material.

When conditions make roof work unsafe, the visit may focus on what can be done from inside and from the ground, with the roof work at first light. We tell you plainly when that is the plan and why. An honest delay is better than a crew on a roof it should not be on. Inside work, such as protecting furniture or checking the firebox, can still go ahead while the roof waits.

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.

Emergency questions from Kings Ferry

Can someone come tonight?

Someone picks up 24/7 and gives you an honest estimate of when a crew can reach you, given the storm and the roof. If first light is the safer time to work, you get clear instructions for the night.

What if a bird is nesting in the chimney?

We identify it first. Some birds are protected while nesting, and then the answer may be to wait with the fireplace closed off rather than remove the nest.
