Metal chimney pipe knocked loose
Metal fireplaces vent through a chimney pipe that ends at a listed cap on the roof. Wind or a falling limb can knock that termination loose or bend the pipe, opening the chimney to rain and leaving the fireplace unsafe to use. Stay clear of the area under any bent pipe until it is secured.
Replacement parts come from the fireplace maker, since the chimney is part of a listed system. Tonight's job is securing and covering what is loose. Metal chimney damaged on your roof in Nassau Village-Ratliff? Phone (904) 920-5495; our emergency line answers 24/7.

When 911 comes before the chimney line
Three situations go to 911 first, every time. With smoke spreading through the house, a carbon monoxide alarm going off or flames in the chimney, step outside with everyone and dial 911 from there.
None of those is a job for a chimney contractor in the first minutes. Our part starts after responders have cleared the house, with a careful look at the chimney before anyone uses it. The order matters, and this pool of advice never asks you to call us before you have called 911. Responders can also shut off power or gas if they need to, which is not a job for anyone else in that moment.
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.
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.
Emergency findings in writing
- Flue checked after a fire before any reuse
- Cap, chase cover or top rebuild measured for daylight work
- Interior water damage noted for planning
- A written note left at the end of every visit
