After the fire department has left
Once the flames in a flue are out, the questions start. Heat can crack flue tiles, open joints, warp a damper and reach framing near the chimney, and much of it is out of sight. No fire goes in the firebox before someone has examined that flue. A cap or screen damaged in the fire is noted along with the flue.
Our visit begins with the closer inspection NFPA 211 expects after that kind of event. Chimney checked by the fire department in Murray Hill and now need the flue examined? Phone (904) 920-5495; the line answers 24/7.
Within Jacksonville city limits, Murray Hill is its own named neighborhood. Murray Hill falls within Duval County.

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.
When a tree comes down on a chimney
A fallen limb or tree can crack a chimney top, knock bricks loose or shift the whole stack. The weight of the limb may be holding damaged masonry in place, so removing it carelessly can bring more down.
Tree removal is a tree service's job. We coordinate with them so the chimney is secured as the weight comes off, then cover what is open and take down anything that remains loose. The chimney is assessed for movement before any rebuild is priced. The cap and flue top are also checked, since a limb that strikes the chimney often lands on them first.
The note you get after an emergency visit
No emergency job ends without a written note. It records the findings, the work done, any stopgap left in place and how long that stopgap should last. It also says plainly whether the fireplace can be used.
That note matters for the days that follow. It tells you what to watch, and it gives anyone who works on the chimney later a clear record. Where something could not be reached safely that night, the note says so, along with when we plan to come back for it. Keep the note with the house papers; it is useful when the permanent repair is scheduled.
What we write down after a call in Murray Hill
- Loose masonry taken down and what remains open
- Animal identified before any removal plan
- Damage not reached safely that night, and when we return
