Firebrick falling out during a fire
A firebrick that drops out of the back wall of the firebox while a fire is burning exposes the masonry behind it to direct flame. Let the fire burn down or put it out safely, and do not add more wood. Keep children and pets away from the hearth while it cools.
Once it is cold, the fireplace stays unused until the firebox is repaired. That is emergency fireplace repair when it happens before a planned evening, and the visit makes it safe and prices the rebuild. Firebox brick fallen out in your Penney Farms fireplace? Call (904) 920-5495 for help today.

Keeping animals out once the flue is clear
Once an animal is out, the flue is checked for nesting material and debris, which can block draft and attract the next visitor. That material is cleared before the fireplace is used.
Then the opening is closed off with a cap and screen sized to the flue tile, so animals cannot get back in while smoke still can get out. Where a cap is missing or damaged, its replacement is priced on the follow-up estimate. The goal is one removal, not a repeat call next season. Any gap an animal used to get in, beside the flue or under the cap, is closed at the same time.
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.
Who else may need to be called
Chimney emergencies often touch other trades. Roof covering damaged beyond the chimney is a roofer's work. A gas smell or a damaged gas appliance belongs to the gas utility and a gas contractor. Wiring damaged by lightning or water is an electrician's job, and a fallen tree needs a tree service.
We say which trades are needed on the emergency note, so nothing is missed. Our part is the chimney and the fireplace. Where work has to happen in a certain order, we explain it, so the chimney repair is not done twice. Where another trade needs to go first, the chimney work is scheduled to follow it.
Emergency findings in writing
- Animal identified before any removal plan
- Damage not reached safely that night, and when we return
- Cap, chase cover or top rebuild measured for daylight work
- Instructions for the hours until the repair
Emergency questions from Penney Farms
Should I call you or 911 first?
Smoke indoors, a carbon monoxide alarm or flames in the chimney: evacuate and dial 911 before anyone else. Water, storm damage and trapped animals come straight to our line.
Will a tarp hold until the repair?
For a short time. We tell you how long ours should hold, check it if the weather turns and schedule the permanent repair before it wears out.
