Lightning hit the chimney

A chimney is often the highest point on a house, and lightning can strike it. The damage ranges from a few cracked bricks to a top blown apart, and debris can land on the roof or fall inside the flue.

If there is any sign of fire in the house, get everyone out and call 911 first. Otherwise, keep clear of the area below the chimney, and do not use the fireplace until the flue is checked. Lightning strike on your chimney in San Jose? Call (904) 920-5495; the emergency line is answered 24/7.

San Jose is in Duval County. San Jose is an inland community.

Damaged factory-built chimney pipe

The listed metal chimney on a factory-built fireplace ends at the maker's own cap. When a storm or a falling limb damages that pipe or its termination, the fireplace is not safe to use.

Replacement sections and caps come from the fireplace maker, matched to the model, because the chimney was tested as part of the system. The emergency visit secures and covers what is loose. The permanent repair uses the maker's parts, and it is priced once the model is identified. The model is read from the fireplace's rating plate so the right parts can be found quickly.

The note you get after an emergency visit

No emergency job ends without a written note. It records the findings, the work done, any stopgap left in place and how long that stopgap should last. It also says plainly whether the fireplace can be used.

That note matters for the days that follow. It tells you what to watch, and it gives anyone who works on the chimney later a clear record. Where something could not be reached safely that night, the note says so, along with when we plan to come back for it. Keep the note with the house papers; it is useful when the permanent repair is scheduled.

When a sweep cannot wait

Routine cleaning covers nearly every sweep. An emergency sweep is different: it clears a flue that has become blocked by a nest, debris or fallen tile, when something that people rely on vents through it.

The sweep clears the blockage and the flue is examined for the cause. A missing cap, a cracked tile or a collapsed nest are the usual findings, and each goes on the follow-up estimate. Nothing vents through that flue again until it is confirmed open. The debris removed is checked too, because pieces of tile or mortar among it point to damage higher up. A nest found to be active and protected changes the plan, and you hear that before anything is removed.

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.

What if a bird is nesting in the chimney?

We identify it first. Some birds are protected while nesting, and then the answer may be to wait with the fireplace closed off rather than remove the nest.
