A tree limb hit the chimney
A falling limb can chip brick, crack a crown, bend a cap or break a flue tile, and the impact can loosen mortar in courses that show no mark from the ground. Damage from an impact can be worse than it looks at first. Branches resting against a chimney also scrape the crown and flashing as they move.
Once the limb is off the roof, our masons check the whole chimney in Nassauville, including the flue from the top, for damage the impact caused. The estimate separates what the limb broke from what was already worn.
The county for Nassauville is Nassau County. The coast is close to Nassauville.

Securing a cap near the water in Nassauville
Near the coast, a cap has to resist both wind and corrosion at its fasteners. A cap that came off in Nassauville is refitted with fasteners matched to its metal, into sound masonry.
The fastening method is written on the ticket.

What comes before looking at the chimney
Once the wind drops, the chimney waits behind bigger hazards. Downed power lines, a gas smell and structural damage to the house come first, and each has its own authority: the power company, the gas utility or 911, and emergency services.
Nobody should climb onto a wet roof, or one the storm has damaged, just to see a chimney. What can be seen safely from the ground, a missing cap, a leaning stack or bricks on the roof, is enough to describe on the phone. The close inspection follows when the roof is safe to walk. A description from the ground also tells us what to bring, so the first visit can close the chimney to the weather.
Water first, structure second, finishes last
A storm repair is sequenced by what the water is doing. Anything that lets rain into the chimney or the house is dealt with first, even if only temporarily. Then come the structural parts: loose courses, a cracked crown, shifted flue tiles. Finishes, stains and cosmetic work come last.
That order keeps the damage from growing while the permanent work is scheduled. It is also how we write the estimate, so you can see what has to happen this week and what can be planned around the weather. Where money or time is limited, the first group is the part not to postpone.
Rebuilding to the wind design in the code
Chapter 3 of the Florida Building Code's residential volume maps design wind speeds across the state, and new construction is designed to them. A chimney top rebuilt after a storm follows the code in force, and each cap or cover goes on by the method its maker specifies.
That is the difference between putting a chimney back as it was and putting it back right. Where a rebuild needs a permit, the estimate says so and who pulls it. Rebuilt masonry above the roof follows the design the code calls for, rather than simply copying what failed.
Temporary and permanent, line by line
- Every flue checked, and which appliances may run written down
- Roofing work named for the roofer where it is needed
- Permanent work scheduled for dry weather, reason written

Storm damage questions from Nassauville
Will you give me a written record of the damage?
Yes. Every storm job includes a dated written account of what we found, what we did to make it safe and the permanent repairs, for your files.
What if my chimney also vents a water heater?
That flue cannot be covered while the appliance runs. We check it separately and tell you whether the appliance is safe to use.
