From the night visit to the real repair
Before we leave an emergency job, you get a written note covering the findings, the work done, what remains open and whether the fireplace is usable. The permanent repair follows as its own estimate, priced once the chimney can be examined properly in daylight and dry weather. The note also lists anything we could not reach that night, with a plan to return.
Permanent work waits for your approval, however late the call came in. Had an emergency visit and need the permanent repair priced in Northside? Call (904) 920-5495; the estimate for the lasting fix is free.

The questions that decide the visit
The first questions are always about safety: is anyone hurt, and is anything burning or smoking? Then come the details that shape the visit: what you can see and where, what burns in the fireplace, whether anything else vents through the chimney and how steep and high the roof is.
Those answers decide who comes, what they bring and whether work on the roof tonight is safe. They also let us give you instructions for the next hour before anyone arrives. Having the answers ready saves time on the call and on the visit. If the call drops or you need to leave the house, calling back from outside is fine.
Finding out what is in the flue
Before any animal is removed from a chimney, we find out what it is. Chimney swifts are one example: the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act covers them, and while they nest, disturbing the birds, eggs or nest needs a federal permit.
In that case, the right answer may be to wait, with the fireplace sealed off from the room. Other animals are removed carefully and humanely. Either way, nothing is smoked out or poisoned, and the removal plan is explained before it starts. Bats are treated with the same care, since state rules limit when they can be excluded from a roost.
Checking your chimney from the ground
Much can be learned after a storm without climbing anything. Look at the chimney top for a missing, tilted or bent cap, and at the chimney itself for cracks or a lean. Look at the roof around it for bricks, concrete or metal that were not there before.
Indoors, look in the firebox for fallen material and at the ceiling by the chimney for fresh marks. Anything you find is worth telling us on the phone, because it decides what we bring. Stay off the roof until it has been checked. Binoculars help if the chimney is tall or set back from the edge of the roof.

Before the crew arrives
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.
