Coming home after an evacuation
After returning to a house that was left during a storm, the chimney is easy to forget until someone lights a fire. A cap, crown or flue damaged while nobody was home can put smoke or water where it does not belong. Water or debris that got into the flue during the storm may still be sitting on the smoke shelf.
Before the first fire in Panama Park, our specialists check the chimney from the top down, and the free inspection tells you what must be fixed before any use. We write it up in order, safety items first.
The county for Panama Park is Duval County. Panama Park does not reach the coast.

Safe, dry, sound, finished
-
Hazards first, then the call
Utility and 911 hazards come first. Then describe what you see from the ground and we set the visit.
-
Top closed to the weather
An open flue, a broken chase top or loose courses are covered or made stable the same visit where safe.
-
Chimney checked top to bottom
Cap, crown, flashing, masonry and every flue are checked, and each finding is written down in order.
-
Permanent repairs in dry weather
Water-stopping work goes first, then structure, then finishes, each on its own line.
Crowns and storms inland in Panama Park
A crown that was already cracked or thin can break apart in a storm, and the coast plays no part in it. In Panama Park, the fix is the same: seal a sound crown, recast a broken one.
We cover the top until the new crown is cast.
10% off any service booked within 72 hours of inspection
Cap, crown and flashing repairs booked in the 72 hours after the inspection each come 10% off.
Storm parts for a factory-built chimney
A metal chimney and its cap are listed as one system, and R1005.1 and R1005.2 keep replacement parts and decorative tops inside that listing. A cap or pipe section from a different system does not lock to the old one and is not part of what was tested.
We read the model from the fireplace label or the pipe before ordering a replacement cap, storm collar or section. Bent pipe above the chase is replaced, not straightened, and the parts go on the estimate by number. If the model cannot be identified, we say so, and the estimate explains how the correct parts will be traced.
Checking the flue lining after a storm
Wind load, an impact or a lightning strike can crack clay flue tiles or open the joints between them, and a stainless liner can be dented or pulled loose at its top plate. A damaged flue lining no longer contains heat and gases the way it should.
The flue is checked from the top with a light for its full height, and any cracked or displaced tiles are noted by position. The estimate explains whether the lining can be repaired or needs relining before the fireplace is used. A flue that was already cracked before the storm is noted as such, so the record shows what the storm did and did not do.
What the written storm record includes
For each storm job, the record lists the date of the visit, what we found on each part of the chimney, what was done that day to make it safe, and the permanent repairs with their prices. Findings are described in plain words with their positions.
It is written for your files, so that months later you can see what happened and what was done. A copy of the finished work is added when the permanent repair is complete. Keeping the record with your house papers also helps whoever looks at the chimney next.
Temporary and permanent, line by line
- Cap sized to the flue and fastened as its maker directs
- Crown sealed or recast, with the reason for the choice
- Counter flashing reset into a cut joint and sealed
- A dated written record of findings, temporary steps and repairs
Storm damage questions from Panama Park
Is the roofing around the chimney part of your repair?
We handle the flashing that belongs to the chimney. Damaged roofing itself is a roofer's work, and we coordinate so the two are done in the right order.
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.
