A ceiling stain growing by the hour
A damp patch beside the chimney that grows while the rain falls is a leak in progress. The water is getting in at the chimney, the roof line or the flue top and finding its way down.
Put a bucket under any drip, move valuables clear and keep an eye on the ceiling for sagging. If it sags, keep people out from under it. We stop the water at the chimney as a temporary measure and find the entry point for the permanent fix. Stain spreading near your chimney in Ponte Vedra Beach? Call (904) 920-5495 now.

Wind-driven rain through a coastal chimney
Coastal rain arrives sideways and finds gaps in a chimney that ordinary rain never reaches. A leak that appears only in storms is typical.
We stop it on the night with a cover and trace the entry point in Ponte Vedra Beach once the weather clears.

The permanent fix after an emergency visit counts, the same as any other service.
Covering an open chimney top
With a chimney top open to the weather, the quickest way to stop water is a heavy-duty tarp over the flue and the damaged area, strapped or weighted so the wind cannot lift it. Where possible, it is secured without new holes in the masonry.
A tarp is a stopgap. Sun and wind wear it, and it will not hold forever. We tell you how long ours should last, check it if the weather turns, and schedule the permanent repair before it gives out. The fireplace stays unused while the tarp is on. Straps are routed so they do not cut into flashing or damage the roof covering.
A cap refastened or a flue covered
Shifted but intact, a cap can often be refastened as a temporary fix. One that is bent, broken or gone leaves the flue open, and a temporary cover goes on instead.
The replacement cap is measured to the flue tile and priced separately, since a proper cap needs the right size and metal. Until it goes on, the temporary cover keeps rain and animals out. The note from the visit says which was done and how long it is meant to hold. Fasteners used for a temporary fix are chosen so they come out cleanly when the new cap goes on.
Chase covers torn off in wind
Framed chimney chases around factory-built fireplaces are closed at the top by a metal chase cover. When wind tears it off, rain falls straight into the chase, onto the framing and the metal chimney pipe.
The temporary fix is a secure cover over the chase top, leaving the chimney pipe's own cap in place where it is intact. The permanent fix is a new cover sized to the chase, with a proper slope and drip edge, priced separately. Wet framing inside the chase is noted for inspection once it dries. Where the chase siding has also been damaged, it is covered so rain cannot enter from the side.
