Flashing lifted at the roof line
Counter flashing that wind has worked out of its joint in the brick, or step flashing bent upward, leaves an open path for rain along the side of the chimney. Seen from the yard, it may be no more than a thin strip of metal standing away from the brick. Lifted flashing can also catch the next wind and peel back further.
On that side of the chimney in Ponte Vedra Beach, the counter flashing is reset or replaced in a cut joint and sealed properly, and the step flashing under it is checked. Where the roof covering itself is damaged, a roofer handles that part, and we coordinate the order.

Permanent repairs in dry weather
Water-stopping work goes first, then structure, then finishes, each on its own line.
Rinsing salt from storm-soaked masonry in Ponte Vedra Beach
Rain that a coastal storm drove into a chimney in Ponte Vedra Beach can leave salt behind as the masonry dries. White bloom and damp patches can linger longer than on an inland chimney.
We clean the bloom gently once the top is sealed and the brick has dried, and recheck the joints the water came through.
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.
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.
Why a storm calls for a closer look
NFPA 211 treats any event likely to have harmed a chimney as grounds for an inspection beyond the routine yearly one. Weather counts as such an event, along with impacts and other external damage.
That closer look covers the top, the exterior masonry, the roof line and the flue from top to bottom. It is how damage that cannot be seen from the ground gets found, and the findings are written down in order of urgency. It is also the step that separates new storm damage from wear that was already there.
Brick that took in wind-driven rain
Wind drives rain sideways into brick faces and joints. Brick with open joints or a worn face takes in more water than it can shed, and that water shows up inside as damp patches or outside as bloom.
The repair starts with the joints: repointing where mortar has eroded. A breathable water repellent can follow once the new mortar has cured, applied as its data sheet directs. Sealing brick that still has open joints only traps the water. Spalled or cracked brick faces found at the same time are written up separately, since they need their own repair.
Temporary and permanent, line by line
- Counter flashing reset into a cut joint and sealed
- Damper worked free and checked after the soaking
- Mount removal and brick repair listed separately
- Permanent work scheduled for dry weather, reason written
Storm damage questions from Ponte Vedra Beach
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.
